This video is a miracle story of a Chinese pilot (ROC/Taiwan) who force landed a
crippled top secrete U-2 spy plane at the mountainous Cortez, Colorado in a dark
night
50 years ago (1959). It's the only successful U2 night force landing.
The event also became one of the alien invasion rumor at the time (i.e. The
Invasion of Cortez: An Extra-Terrestrial Incident).
Dr. H. Mike Hua (General, retired) told his side of the story in detail 50 years
later (2009). The beginning introduction of 50 year celebration party is
narrated in Mandarin Chinese with caption. The actual story is narrated in
English with Chinese caption. The story itself with rare slides is very
interesting and amazing.
In that CIA 7-year missions, among those Chinese (Taiwan) 19 "black cat" pilots, 8 were killed and 2 got captured. Only 5 pilots finished over 10 missions. Dr. Hua was in one of those 5.
