Posted on December 19th, 2009 8 commentsOn August 3, 1959, then-Major Hsichun Mike Hua made a forced landing with his disabled U-2 at Cortez, Colorado. Fifty years later, he was invited by Cortez Aviation Heritage Society to return to the city to talk about his daring landing. General Hua made available his presentation at Cortez and also sent season’s greetings in this video.

Bryan, great info on Wiki. There was a typo in this sentence : ” know their U.S. counterparts’ real names and rank/titles, or which U.S. government agencies they were dealing with.” . Should say they “never knew”, instead of KNOW, but they do :-).
