As the inspection was given for the 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School's graduation ceremony, the Star Wars theme played last night for the May 4th commemoration. Reviewing officer Colonel Denis O'Reilly spoke at the event with Star Wars references throughout his speech, ending with, "May the fourth be with you."
"I was born in Cebu City, Philippines," says Pollock. "My family and I moved to Canada when I was four. My dad was Canadian and my mom was Filipino. I grew up with aviation in my life, because my dad was a pilot in the RCAF, specifically a fighter pilot. He took me up flying and I just fell in love with flying at a very young age."
Honorary Colonel Andrew Fletcher was also present, and shares his local background.
He actually started his role as honorary colonel on December 5th, but the actual investiture took place last week.
