	Lockheed U-2
		The Lockheed U2 spy plane was an ultra light glider-like plane designed by the Lockheed Skunk Works for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
		As it turned out, although the Russians could see the U2 on radar, it flew so high that it was out of range of their missiles and aircraft.
		At the same time the Russians were also firing missiles at the U2.

	Francis Gary Powers --the spy who fell from the skies, Indian Airforce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Pilot Gary Powers was shot down as he flew the sinister U2, designed for covert surveillance, over Soviet territory, sparking one of the biggest international crises of the Cold War.
		CIA and Air Force officials presented the awards, something the pilot's son Francis Gary Powers, Jr., saw as an important step in recognizing those who served their country during the Cold War.
		Powers, Jr., 34, has devoted much of his time to seeing his father's memory honored, and is working to establish a permanent Cold War Museum in Washington, D.C. to educate the public about the period of US-Soviet rivalry.

	Welcome to The Rowland Institute at Harvard
		In the 1950s Land’s team designed the first of the high-altitude optical surveillance systems, first in the U2 plane and later in satellites, thus helping to maintain military balance and the Cold War peace, which ended with Gorbachev and the destruction of the Berlin Wall (November 1989).
		The Lockheed U2 spy plane was a power glider that climbed rapidly to a very high altitude (13 miles); the pilot then switched off the power unit and glided to a lower altitude as the sequence of stereoscopic photographs were taken.
		Land told me, with a chuckle, that he managed to convince golfing President (1953-61) Eisenhower to support the U2 project by describing his new camera's point-spread-function in terms of detecting a golf ball at 2000 yards, rather than in seconds of arc (4 sec).

		Lockheed Martin Missile and Space Company is considering funding a reimbursable ER-2 aircraft (Figure 1) mission to collect synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery at an altitude of about 21 km over the conterminous United States and Alaska.
		In 1995, it became known that Lockheed Martin intended to conduct a national synthetic aperture radar (SAR) survey.
		Although most of the mission costs would be funded by Lockheed Martin, costs related to the collection of the magnetic data are not.

	Development of the Airborne PCM Data Acquisition System
		With this in mind, we prepared our proposal, submitted it and later we were informed by Lockheed that they had selected Dynatronics to develop both the airborne and ground telemetry systems for the HICAT program.
		Then the equipment, the Lockheed engineers and I moved to Edwards Air Force Base, California, where during the second week further training was conducted as well as the installation of the equipments into the body of the U2.
		The Lockheed engineers retrieved the telemetry recorded tape from the bay of the aircraft and we drove with it to the Burbank location of where the HICAT PCM Ground Processing Center was.

		Johnson ended his career crowned with glory, but in late 1953, the forty-three year old engineer was in the thick of the fray, entering what would turn out to be the most productive decade of his career.
		As the end of the year approached, he was anticipating the completion and rollout of his controversial new XF-104A Starfighter, the prototype of the world's first Mach 2 combat aircraft.
		The Wright Air Development Center engineers who were writing the specification for the new airplane had not approached Lockheed for a proposal for this requirement, planning instead to work with smaller, more easily managed airframe contractors.

	Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
		There are plenty of pics of the figure and a brief history of the U2 spy plane The figure sits on the right when you open it and on the left is the classic BBI securely fixed tray of accessories.
		I found some good pics on google and as far as I can see they got the outfit spot-on (though from what I saw there were two colour variations, white and yellow, so I imagine they went for the yellow to make him look 'less' like an astronaut).
		So not having to base this on a real person means I can't say how 'Accurate" it is. But its a really nice sculpt, much like all their WW2 and modern military stuff, difficult not to give it a high score.

	RC Groups - U2 Glider Conversion Scratch Build Questions
		After reading the Ezone article on the conversion of the Lanier U2 free-flight glider to RC the wheels started turning in my head....
		As a big fan of the Lockheed U2 and the photo missions it under took, I would like to build a low-cost air-born photo or video sailplane modeled after this plane.
		It will be to light to fly in most of the windy days we have here and will require a large field to really enjoy, which means I will prob only fly it twice a month...not worth it for me.
