U-2 Dragon Lady

During the Cold War, the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron called the English air base at Alconbury home. It at the time operated the tactical surveillance version of the otherwise strategically utilized and equipped U-2, designated TR-1. The unit took part in the Gulf War starting in 1991, one of the TR-1s main tasks being the finding of Scud rocket launch facilities.

Founded as Detachment H in 1960 in Taiwan, the Black Cats were relocated to Korea in 1976, reliably fulfilling their valuable task of strategic reconnaissance in the East Asian region to this day.
