Gary Powers- U2 pilot
I noticed that he's lecturing at the Air Force Museum on July 21st. I won't be there, but bet it will be very interesting.

Re: Gary Powers- U2 pilot
I got to watch one do some takeoff & landings a bunch of years ago, then walk around it after a full stop. Amazing to watch it land on tandem landing gear... didn't look like fun!

I misread it, Gary Powers Jr. is giving the lecture.

Re: Gary Powers- U2 pilot
I misread it too, thought this was going to have something to do with Gary running a U2 power unit!
