Colvin U-2 MEMORIES- A Very Fine Article ...do read it... ?? on: Today at 07:16:43 AM ?? Forwarding Eugene Rossell's e-mail comments, article, and photo of a U-2 pilot snoozing in Panama in 1965. Terry U-2 MEMORIES- A Very Fine Article ...do read it... Date: Dec 10, 2013 5:29 AM Excellent article. I remember the U-2 down in Panama and the pilots who came to our party. Their cover story was that they were sampling air or some thing like that over Latin America. My section used to take care of their U_2 HF radio since we had the only capability for that in the Canal Zone. We were pretty sure they were flying over Cuba. They were a quite bunch. One of the pilots came to our parties in Panama got drunk and just sat in the corner sleeping. We called him silencio. In the picture the U-2 pilot is on the left and the guy on right is a SF person headed for Vietnam in 1965. The middle guy is our roommate Glen Watson a southern GA lawyer. This picture is for the guys who attended our parties in Panama. U-2 MEMORIES- A Very Fine Article ...do read it.....(Non-FAC). Interesting story he told, loved the ones about the lady on the beach or the guy in his back yard reading the paper. That was one good camera.

Date: 12-10-2013 This article is full of bullshit. This guy NEVER flew over China or Russia. Maybe he did Cuba, I'll find out. He also never baled out of a U-2 The Louisiana swamp baleout was by Chuck Stratton. Beeler also never landed a U-2 on a carrier. He DID solo in the U-2 in December 1960. And U-2s of that day did not fly with color film. (blue eyes, my ass!) Quote from a fighter pilot (ret) " I don't know whether he will get a pass because of his age, but I'm 90 and I don't expect one. Joe Donoghue On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 6:57 PM, Terry W.
