Summary

Description A U.S. Air Force Lockheed U-2D (s/n 56-6951) from the 4028th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron at Bien Hoa Air Base, Vietnam, in early 1965. For security reasons, U-2s were rarely seen outside of their hangars. Note the Vietnamese Douglas A-1H Skyraiders and USAF Martin B-57B Canberras in the background.
The U-2D 56-6951 crashed on 19 October 1966 on the runway at Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona (USA), during a practice approach and landing. The pilot survived without injury.
