  It's awkward how often these civilian weather monitoring operations go awry, isn't it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_U-2_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_U-2_incident

    Do you feel this incident from 63 years ago is relevant now? For context it's closer to the first powered flight in 1903 than it is to the present day.

      Yes? Both are ham-handed spy missions by a superpower on another, covered up as "weather missions" only after getting caught with their pants down.
