WHAT DOES AQUATONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aquatone

Lockheed U-2

The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is a single-engine, ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides day and night, very high-altitude, all-weather intelligence gathering. The U-2 has also been used for electronic sensor research, satellite calibration, and communications purposes. The U-2 has been prominently featured in several events during the Cold War, at stages of which U-2s commonly flew over the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, North Vietnam, and Cuba. In 1960, CIA pilot Gary Powers was shot down while flying a U-2 over Soviet territory. In 1962, a U-2 piloted by Major Rudolf Anderson, Jr. was shot down over Cuba by surface-to-air missiles during the Cuban missile crisis. The U-2 has remained in service since the end of the Cold War and is one of several aircraft types that have been operated by the USAF for over 50 years. The current U-2 variant in service was built in the 1980s. It has participated in conflicts such as Afghanistan and Iraq, and supported several multinational NATO operations.
