Spotter type question
I entered the Edmonton FIR today around 1500z and after touching base with centre, I heard "Dragon 21" giving a position report at FL600.
The guy on the radio was clearly pressure breathing.
My curiosity has got the better of me and I have to ask, what aircraft type would it have been?
Cheers.

Especially as the the U2/TR1 is known colloquially as the 'Dragon Lady'

Akrotiri 1986 you certainly knew when it departed about 7 am local time.
Yes I know; I (didn't) start the thread after finding the GE image on that day showed an aircraft lining up at Akrotiri which wasn't there!
I was there with cadets on Easter camp and we went to the beach near the little harbour at the east end of the SBA where there was a perfect view of aircraft on final; when the aircraft which wasn't there came into view, one hundred odd cameras were pointed at it and the ACLO was running round saying 'you can't take a photo of that'.

The Russians knew that it was there, the Egyptians knew that it was there, the Syrians knew that it was there, the Iraqis knew that it was there, local Cypriots knew that it was there, what on earth was the point of trying to convince Air Cadets and the public that it was not there?
