Talk:Francis Gary Powers

A "nuclear" self-destruct mechanism? Is there any source for that one? Honestly, U-2 aircraft aren't big enough to need nuclear bombs to destroy. --WOVcenter 13:43, 10 March 2007 (EST)

I added the part about Pakistan to illustrate how far back Pakistan's cooeprative defense relationship with the US goes. RobS 16:58, 10 March 2007 (EST)

I'm not sure how the nuclear self-destruct part go in there. It's unnecessary and could be the product of vandalism. I'll take it out. Thanks for seeing it.--Aschlafly 17:08, 10 March 2007 (EST)

If I recall reading somewhere, the plane was never hit by a missile, it was the shock wave from an exploding missle that brought it down (SAM-16, I think). RobS 17:15, 10 March 2007 (EST)
