'Unknown' aircraft at Akrotiri
Don't know how long it will be there but on www.zoom.earth/#34.587014,33.000716,19z,map is a 'strange' aircraft lined up on 28.
|
Can't see anything?
|
Unknown? It's one of the most famous aircraft around.
|
Look hard enough and you too could see it.
|
Not that unknown!!
|
There is a U2 and a couple of vehicles on the threshold.
Is there something there that shouldn't be there, or something that should be there that isn't? Sorry - this has me baffled. What on earth do the replies above refer to? |
What was known as the U-2, then the TR-1, now known as .... the U-2. |

Looks like a 'Dragon Lady' to me.

That's the aircraft that wasn't there in 1975, and still wasn't there when I went back in 2004.

Didn’t half make the hangar shake when it wasn’t there doing engine tests! |

Lying on my pit recovering from a night in the Green Rock when someone came in and said "did you see the U2 taking off?"
Never had another chance. |
Cobra Ball at Mildenhall today though, a far rarer beast.
|
Much more interesting, I happened to just be going down a Google Maps wormhole and was looking at NAS North Island, San Diego. Someone’s had an unplanned end to their sortie on runway 36. |

NAS North Island (Coronado)
Could there be a finer place to be based? I can’t think of one. I know you might say Honolulu and it is a close run thing but I’d take Coronado personally. BV |
I certainly didn't see a U-2 landing at Akrotiri when I was standing at the bar on the stern of Queen Victoria leaving Limassol harbour a few years ago...
|
I most certainly didn't see one in Akrotiri or Alconbury and I've never seen a SR71 in Okinawa.
