Model:87271

Price: $50 USD from Hobbylink Japan

U-2 built in complete secrecy by Kelly Johnson and the Lockheed Skunk Works, the original U-2A first flew in August 1955. Early flights over the Soviet Union in the late 1950s provided the president and other U.S. decision makers with key intelligence on Soviet military capability. In October 1962, the U-2 photographed the buildup of Soviet offensive nuclear missiles in Cuba, touching off the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft designed by Lockheed's in-house secret development department, Skunk Works, and operated by the U.S. Air Force, the CIA, and the Taiwan Air Force. It was developed based on the F-104, and made its first flight in 1955. It can fly at an altitude of 20,000 meters or more, is equipped with a special camera, and was active in collecting information on the communist bloc, such as the Soviet Union, during the Cold War. The U.S. Air Force still operates modified versions of this aircraft.
