• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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".
