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!
those things don't look big but when you see them with ground crew their
size is surprising, to me at least.
