Canadian CF-104 pilots

[tomdocherty72]

Does anyone have any CF-104 Starfighter contacts here? I hope to make contact with those who flew the type with the RCAF.

[Wholigan]

I have quite a few contacts, Canadian, American and British who flew CF104 with the RCAF. May I ask why please?

Anyone know Bill Nesbitt , CF-104 driver, who flew Mirages on exchange with RAAF circa 1973/4?

[Wholigan]

I knew him but have no idea what has happened to him since the 70s. Does that mean you might know Dave and Barb Leach? Dave was an Ozzie Mirage driver who did an exchange tour on the CF104 at Cold Lake in the mid 70s. If so, I'd like to get back in touch with them.

(Sorry for the Hijack Tom).

[TBM-Legend]

Yes, I knew Dave L. I'm not sure where he is these days either!
