@SCAdian

IQ: Were you shot down whilst flying a spy plane over the Soviet Union?

Yes, indeed, I am

Gary Powers

The U-2 pilot (a former USAF officer but a CIA employee at the time) whose downing in May 1960 seriously damaged U.S.-Soviet relations: Francis Gary Powers - Wikipedia.

Well done, SCAdian!

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

As I said, good one SCA!

[SCAdian]

No idea why that name popped into my head. I had no idea when or how he died, but it seemed like it might work. And I have to say it looks very odd, seeing “Gary Powers” without “Francis” in front of it…

I am J.
