I captured ADS-B packets from a U-2 in the LAX area (using an RTL-SDR dongle) on 2013-06-18. If you want to see them for yourself, the decoded packets (hex) are at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7443278/Mode%20S%20Captures/mode-s-capture-2013-06-18.raw https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7443278/Mode%20S%20Captu... (along with other aircraft).
The U-2 I picked up is ICAO ae094b, registration 68-10336[1]. You can decode the packet information using dump1090[2]:
./dump1090 --net-only > out.txt
Then in another terminal:
cat mode-s-capture-2013-06-18.raw | nc localhost 30001
Then in out.text, look for "ae094b". You'll see packets like
*0206042b1365a5;
CRC: ae094b (ok)
DF 0: Short Air-Air Surveillance.
VS : Airborne
CC : 1
SL : 0
Altitude : 60000 feet
ICAO Address : ae094b
