Hi my name is Steve Pajot LATEST INFO AS OF JUNE 10, 20010: This OFT was based at CFB
Cold Lake, Alberta and used by the RCAF with 6 Strike OTU and later 417 TAC F OT
Squadron. I am still hoping for some of your members to respond with some photos
of the OFT when it was in operation. I flew this simulator many times and I
still kick myself for not having taken any photographs on those occasions. If any one would like to
view the OFT please email or call to set up a time. The museum is not yet
fully functional as we have just acquired a new hangar and we are
currently building and modifying the display area. Cheers ! I am trying to get
together some information and photos of the RCAF CF-104 Operational Flight
Trainer. I am a member of the Canadian Starfighter Association and an avid
Starfighter fan. I was based in 4 F Wing Baden-Soellingen, Germany when I was
first introduced to the CF-104 and the love affair has continued to this day.
I had my first flight in the CF-104 OFT in 4 Wing and subsequent flights
later in CFB Cold Lake. I was fortunate enough to fly in the actual aircraft
in the 1970's. |

My sincere thanks to the following people and their help with donations, it really does make a difference & it keeps this site online. Rather than simply sending a note of thanks I decided to share the names of those who are responsible for keeping this site active. I don't mind working on the site, keeping things updated, and paying for small improvements here and there... but this site has grown to the point of needing a special server and rather software, so any help with expenses are truly appreciated. |

New Link page to a CF100 simulator. Interesting site.
A Tribute to the Royal Canadian Golden Hawks
I
don't know if you knew this or not..
The first photo in the Kelowna
reunion section has a sign 'OFTT' .
I made that sign in Baden
in the late 60's, early 70's..
There were a whole bunch of Elves
on it depicting the activities in the simulator there at that time.
We used it to display on a
Rhine cruise ship one year and we had a CF-104 pilot fly over and take a photo
of us on deck. The sign was used to identify which ship we were on.
I wish I could find that photo..
Take care Paul

We opened our hospedaje here at the Laguna de Apoyo after falling under its
spell in 2005. It’s a special place in that it strikes a perfect balance
between having many interesting things to do, while at the same time providing
a beautifully tranquilo atmosphere to relax and unwind in - and local legends
claim even the water has healing properties.
