It wasn’t that long ago: U.S. Spy Plane in China.

Gary Power’s U2, shot down by the Soviets back in 1960 ?

You’re probably thinking about the U2 crisis in 1960 when Gary Powers was conducting a spying mission over Russia. He was flying a U2 plane.

Thanks so much!! I knew somebody on here would know.
You guys are awesome…
Yep, it was the China story…

Yes, I know it wasn’t that long ago… but unless I looked down, I probably couldn’t tell you what clothes I put on this morning…
While reading about Iraq “destroying” some of their weapons I had a flashback about this event, but not enough details to do a search…

Thanks again…
