Read between the lines. The U.S. plane spied for hours without being molested by the North Koreans.

They should use a paor of F22's to accompany that plane while their performing their mission.The North Koreans won't know what hit them.

[Prost1]

They still have the Pueblo, illegally commandeered and surrendered.

We should bomb them until they return our property.

I have not forgotten!

Ever since the shootdown of PR-26, all EW A/C have CAP. Navy and AF. Paranoia is the normal mental state of the PRK. An RC or EC-135 wouldn't be in range of any of their SAMs but it's fun to light 'em up.

[Jet Jaguar]

Agreed.

[Doe Eyes]

An RC-135 spying?

You must be joking.

"The ceaseless illegal intrusions of their strategic reconnaissance planes on spy missions have created an imminent danger of military clash in the sky above those waters," it warned in a statement published by the official Korean Central News Agency

Don't be silly, chia-head. That's like bringing a spitwad and a straw to a gunfight.

U-2 spy planes transit at Hickam on their way to South Korea HONOLULU (AP) _ Three Air Force U-2 spy planes landed at Hickam Air Force Base Tuesday on their way to the Korean peninsula to monitor North Korea. The planes will relieve U-2 planes in South Korea that are waiting to return to the United States for equipment upgrades. The planes headed to Korea already had the new technology installed. The upgrades replace cockpit gauges and dials with the latest touch-screen technology. The Air Force is spending one-point-five (b) billion dollars renewing its fleet of over 30 U-2 spy planes. The U-2 provides high-altitude, all-weather surveillance and reconnaissance. Over 29-thousand troops are stationed in South Korea. The two Koreas remain technically war because the Korean War in the 1950s ended in a cease-fire, not a peace treaty.

Ah, yes. "Me and my RC"

[SauronOfMordor]

On Sunday, the air force threatened to "punish" US spy flights, recalling the fate of a US Navy plane it shot down in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) in 1969.

Hopefully we have a pair of F-22's getting flight practice shadowing the recon plane

North Korea accuses US plane of spying

Duh.

[Petey139]

Proves they dont got balls like China to take it down. Bet Kimmy will actually leave US soldiers rape him own mamma in front of him on Worldwide TV.

[Ptarmigan]

Nothing new. It's been like this for over 50 years.

[Teacher317]

"tough sh*t"?

The RC-135 Rivet Joint is my old aircraft. I was busy flying in the Middle East though as an Arabic linguist.

This should be interesting. Qaddafi pulled this crap until we really invaded his airspace.
