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!


Clear as mud!
