It's not the most stealthy plane on earth, in fact it has been shot down over the Soviet Union and China in historical cases, because of being tracked by radar.

It's not the most stealthy plane on earth, in fact it has been shot down over the Soviet Union and China in historical cases, because of being tracked by radar. Moreover it was flying over American airspace, it makes sense to register it.

    Interesting. I wasn't aware that the ROC ever operated U-2s.
