Title: U2

I thought Bridge of Spies was very well done.  It was interesting to see the beginnings of the U2 mission.  A pilot once told me he knew a U2 pilot who fell asleep at cruise.  When he woke up, the plane had gently landed itself in a field.

I'd like to see that movie.  I'm a big Cold War fan.  I wonder how the pilot explained that one.

Oxygen deprivation?  Cranial-rectal inversion?  The dog ate my POH?

Trying to find that story, it was told to me by a Southwest Airlines pilot, but can't find it.  Did find this one, though!
