Default Spying on China - 01.jpg U-2 into RQ-4

"Netko" wrote in message...
The wreckage of four ROCAF U-2s shot down over the PRC and displayed in
Beijing. Two of the pilots were killed and two were captured.
The picture probably dates from 1965.


Interesting. I (and I'd think many others) have never seen
4 U-2s sitting together.

Meanwhile that got me off into reading about - recon. planes
The wiki entry - RQ-4 Global Hawk says,
"In March 1999, a Global Hawk inadvertently responded to a
termination signal emanating from Nellis Air Force Base after the
aircraft lost the Edwards AFB signal."
Huh?? Okay, guess that's clear. Bummer!
