US conducted 170 spy missions in May: DPRK
2006-06-01
North Korea on Wednesday accused the United States of conducting more than 170 aerial spy missions over the communist state in May as part of preparations for war, state media said. The Korean Central News Agency said US reconnaissance planes, including U-2s, E-3, EP-3, RC-12 and RC-7B, flew "in war exercises" to spy on military targets in North Korea.

#7  U-2s? Um, I don't think that holds water.

Yup, they're still flying.

The last U2 Spy Plane and TR-1 aircraft were delivered to the Air Force in October 1989. In 1992 all TR-1s and U2 Spy Planes were designated U-2Rs. All U-2R models have since completed engine replacement and are designated as a U-2S/TU-2S. U2 Spy Planes are based at the 9th Reconnaissance Wing, Beale Air Force Base, Calif., and support national and tactical collection requirements from various operational detachments located worldwide.

#5  Interesting, they've still not discovered those hidden, solar powered transmitters on the AGER-2. January 23rd will be 38 years of virtually uninterrupted signals collection. Satellites and air-breathers can't get it all. Thank God for the United States Navy.
