U-2 spy plane around until 2025

In a way,...it seems like yesterday when the news broke about CIA pilot Gary Francis Powers being shot down over Russia flying a U-2. President Eisenhower regretted giving the okay in the Soviet Union overflights. He wound up with a lot of egg on his face (and awkward explaining) with ol' Nicky K. having a field day with the situation. All this back in 1960.
 
The U-2 saw this comming from 70,000 ft up. A satellites will see this 24 hours latter and the RQ-170 Sentinel will "crash".
