The territory in the Soviet Union was attached to the strictly confidential duty to reconnoiter from super-altitude, among the cold war of the United States and the Communist bloc. Affiliation is CIA and air force is also the spy machine with which the existence was hidden. However, it was shot down by the antiaircraft missile of the Soviet Union during the strategy flight, and the pilot became a prisoner of war. They are touch-and-go and the unfortunate body which was also able to hang down the crisis of the one step this side of third World War. Even now, improvement is continued and the data of ozone layer depletion is collected by altitude as peaceful use.

アメリカの共産圏との冷戦の中、ソ連の領土を超高空から偵察するという極秘の任務についていました。所属はCIAで、空軍でもその存在は隠されていたスパイ機です。しかし作戦飛行中にソ連の対空ミサイルによって撃墜され、パイロットは捕虜となりました。一触即発、第三次世界大戦一歩手前という危機をもたらせた不運な機体です。今でも改良が続けられ、平和的な使用として高々度の空でオゾン層破壊のデータを集めたりもしているようです。
