Bob, Thanks, I enjoyed that. When Karen was in Korea she got to ride in the chase car (Camaro) and then sit in it's cockpit.....

This is kinda long but a great story. You’ll enjoy and wait ‘til the end…wow!
a great story-a great message, a lucky Dude, and a
great pilot.
Thx ER
I received this from Iwo
Kimes and it is a good aviation story. CHINESE U-2 PILOT LANDING AT CORTEZ, CO (GREAT
STORY)
You will not be disappointed to watch/listen to the end.
There is something here that's not just for pilots. (Open site
below.) ALL:
Be sure to see the video of the
terrain surrounding the airport in the last 60 sec of the movie..
Cortez a/p: 5900 feet elev, 7200 feet long , 100 feet
wide.
This is aviation history that few know about.
Especially the end if you have never landed in Cortez. Mostly in English
but read the English sub-titles when present.

U-2
flame out at 70,000 feet. A most fascinating
story…
