After completing his service in the Royal Canadian Navy, Kent completed his commercial pilot’s license, then spent the next six years flying mostly in the Canadian Arctic and Northern provinces. He was chief pilot for several small air charter companies and flew extensively doing crop spraying. In February of 1972, Kent was hired by Air Canada and spent the next 33 years flying for them on most of the aircraft in the fleet. During this time, he also owned his own aircraft ferry and delivery company and did specialized flight training for people who owned their own or corporate turbo prop or jet aircraft. Shortly after retiring from Air Canada, Kent was offered a position as a captain for Saudi Prince Alwaheed Bin Talal, based in Riyadh, flying the Airbus A340-200. He was also a captain with Air India, flying the Boeing 747-400. He has worked all over the world, in 17 countries in Africa, and on all continents except Antarctica.
