CAPT Charlie Plumb, USN (Ret.), Naval Aviator, Vietnam Veteran, Former Prisoner of War, Author and Speaker
As a junior F-4 Phantom pilot, Plumb was tasked to dog fight with pesky MIg-17’s. He was flying the Cold War, high altitude, supersonic interceptor, retrofitted to carry 12,000 pounds of WWII bombs. Then, as a POW he made the transition from king of the skies to scum of the earth. His war came faster (and more personal) than he expected. Capt. Plumb will explain how he met that challenge.
