Cold War Fighter Pilot - Ken Castle, CD, Flight-Lieutenant (ret'd)

"Voices from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum", a new documentary film series produced by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in collaboration with Outsiders Films Inc., focuses the spotlight on men who have left their mark on Canada's aviation history.

Ken Castle reminisces about his experiences as a flight instructor for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, training pilots from all member countries. Mr. Castle flew aboard Canadair Sabres (day fighters most notably used in North Korea), and the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter (a super-sonic interceptor, used by the Canadian Forces as a low-altitude tactical fighter).
