Like I said, pedantic. It's a friggen "U-2".

Speaking of pedantic - it's "Francis Gary Powers" or sometimes "Frank
Powers". He hated being called "Gary".

Hehe. I didn't know that. I just couldn't remember his first name and
too lazy to do a quick search. I guess he was stuck with "Gary" because he
didn't take his pill as instructed. :O ;-)
