No Kum-Sok (later Kenneth Rowe) (born c. 1932) was a lieutenant in the North Korean Air Force during the Korean War who defected to South Korea. In 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 received a $100,000 reward for defecting with his aircraft, which he claimed to have not heard about prior to his defection. Wikipedia
