    Based ULTRA Chad Ucthdorf vs USSR!

    Elder Uchtdorf Hijacked a Plane to Escape the USSR! The Wild Tabernacle Choir StoryIn this hilarious Ward Radio episode, the crew dives into one of the most legendary (and daring) stories from Church history: when Soviet officials refused to let the Mormon Tabernacle Choir leave the USSR, a young Dieter F. Uchtdorf — experienced Lufthansa pilot and future Apostle — took matters into his own hands. He jumped the counter, loaded everyone onto the plane, ignored the control tower, and flew them to freedom in one of the boldest Cold War escapes you’ll ever hear. The guys react with pure awe, tie it to temple recommend questions about obeying the law, share historical context from the Iron Curtain era, and swap powerful family stories about escaping communism. Pure faith, courage, and Midnight Mormons-style comedy! If you love Church history with a side of adrenaline, this one’s for you.
