Ken Burnstine
Kenneth G. "Ken" Burnstine (d. 16 June 1976) was an American drug smuggler and pilot who was described by the Associated Press in 1981 as "one of America's most daring drug smugglers".〔AP, ''Lakeland Ledger'', 15 November 1981, ('Dead' drug ace may be out of the hole )〕 At the time of his death in an aircraft accident, Burnstine was cooperating with federal prosecutors having been sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiracy to create a $50m drug trafficking ring based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.〔 The North American P-51 Mustang in which Burnstine crashed in the Mojave Desert was the aircraft with which he had won the 1974 Reno Air Races.〔

After graduating from Northwestern University, Burnstine enlisted in the US Marines in July 1954.〔Jack R. Swike (2008), (The Missing Chapter Lee Harvey Oswald in the Far East ), Snotboards〕 He served in Korea in 1955 before being sent to Marine Aircraft Group 11 in Atsugi, Japan, where he was given counter-intelligence credentials.〔 In March 1956 Burnstine was told to report to a Navy flight school in Pensacola, Florida, but was ultimately discharged into the Navy reserves, and went on to obtain pilot credentials at a private flight school in Alabama.〔 Burnstine later moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he set up Florida Air International, which was involved drugs and arms smuggling.〔 In the 1960s Burnstine financed the construction of the "landmark" KenAnn Building in Wilton Manors, Florida, named for himself and his wife Ann; an 8-storey circular building, it was inspired by ''The Jetsons''.〔MARIA ELENA FERNANDEZ, ''Sun-Sentinel'', 19 August 1990, (Restaurant Fights To Stay In Kennan Building )〕〔''New Times Broward-Palm Beach'', (Best Landmark - 2008: Kenann Building ), 2008〕

In December 1974 Burnstine was arrested and charged with drug smuggling, with federal agents noting that three Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar aircraft that crashed with drugs on board in Florida in 1974 had been traced to Burnstine's leasing company.〔AP, ''Ocala Star-Banner'', 3 December 1974, (Florida Marijuana Brains Arrested )〕 He was convicted in February 1975, and became an informant in several drug cases, including one involving Mitchell WerBell III.〔〔United Press International, ''St Petersburg Times'', 18 June 1976, (Avon drug case jeopardized as key witness dies in plane crash )〕
