No Kum-Sok (later Kenneth H. Rowe; born January 10, 1932 in Sinhung, North Korea) is a former lieutenant of the North Korean Air Force. During the Korean War he defected to South Korea. On the morning of September 21, 1953, he flew his MiG-15 to the Kimpo Air Base in South Korea, claiming that he wanted to get away from the "red deceit." He was able to land his airplane unchallenged; he had not been detected while crossing into South Korea as the US radar near Kimpo had been shut down temporarily that morning for routine maintenance.
