In 1960 the 35th Squadron "Black Cats" was established at Taoyuan AB in northern Taiwan with U-2 flights taking place between 1961 and 1974. The flights were under CIA supervision and flown by ROCAF pilots. The original N803X 56-6683 crashed and the number was reassigned to U-2R 68-10329 that first flew in 1967. This U-2 was the first to fly with Super Pods under the wings and when it joined the ROCAF in was numbered 3925. In 1981 3925 was transferred to the 9th SRW and in 1995 converted to a U-2S.
Designed as a long-range, high-altitude reconnaisance aircraft, the U-2 was first flown on August 4th, 1955. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
