This one is fun because Emily and I can stop by for picnics with a surviving #LockheedU2 aircraft in a #Palmdale museum. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1960, Francis #GaryPowers was shot down over the #SovietUnion in his #U2spyplane, creating a #ColdWar crisis called the #U2Incident.

The U.S. tried to hide the truth. The Soviets had proof. It was a disaster. The Cold War got even worse.
