He recounts being inspired to fly after seeing F-4s take off, describes B-52 operations, crew coordination, and a harsh landing that injured him, leading him to seek chiropractic care despite warnings. After congressional budget cuts ended his flying career, he quickly enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic and returned home to buy Cocoa Beach’s oldest chiropractic practice, later volunteering with law enforcement, first responders, and treating hundreds of homeless veterans through Stand Down events. Armstrong also advocates for military chiropractic care, discusses the Patriot Project, and shares his leadership in Rolling Thunder Florida Chapter One, focused on POW/MIA awareness, family history tied to a WWII missing relative, and the meaning of the Strategic Air Command flag.\n00:00 Show Introduction\n00:27 Meet Dr Armstrong\n01:16 Chiropractic Practice Today\n01:56 Inspired To Fly\n04:03 B-52 Training Path\n06:35 Low Level Missions\n07:43 Crew Coordination\n09:37 Hard Landing Injury\n12:23 Discovering Chiropractic\n15:55 Budget Cuts Phone Call\n17:26 Chiropractic School Journey\n19:21 Building Local Practice\n20:16 Serving First Responders\n21:13 Stand Down Veterans Care\n23:59 Teaching Student Doctors\n26:24 Military Chiropractic Advocacy\n31:09 Fighter Pilot Neck Strain\n33:35 Rolling Thunder Origins\n36:19 Florida Chapter Mission\n37:15 B-17 Recovery Story\n39:00 Riding And Patches\n40:18 Andersonville POW Museum\n43:13 POW Survival Stories\n46:26 POW MIA Flag Legacy\n48:02 Healthcare And Hobbies\n50:35 Flags In Schools\n52:31 SAC Flag And Cold War\n58:27 Road Trips And Farewell","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WNeyyaCFjf5O962u_hYlZKJY87LtAPBam-cum-Py8Y0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNjgw/ZTYzYTNmN2ExZmEz/ZTcwZDRlNWQ3ZmJh/Njg3NS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
