| Description |
This U-2, like most, has a very interesting history, Delivered to Groom Lake, NV on 29 March 1956. With original Det A on initial deployment in late April 1956. The aircraft initially operated as Civil N802X, and was equipped to fly APQ-56 side looking radar, one of three CIA aircraft so equipped. Probably one of the first four aircraft to be plumbed for slipper tanks in 1957. Was used in U-2 stealth tests in June 1958. Deployed to Det B, in 1958. While deployed to Det C, 56-6682 ran out of fuel and was landed in a Thai rice paddy, piloted by Bill McMurray on 5 April 1960. NASA Pilots: Jerry Hoyt & Ron Williams set "Time to Climb" records for class in U-2C 56-6682 (NASA: N709NA) on 17-18 April 1989. This aircraft was flown to Robins AFB, GA to be put on display by NASA pilot Doyle Krumrey on 26 April 1989. Full military serial 56-6682. Previous NASA registration N709NA. c/n 349. On display in the 'Century of Flight' Hangar at Warner Robins Museum of Aviation. Georgia, USA. 18-4-2013 Info for this aircraft was copied from the fascinating 'The Pinetree Line' website |
