Historical Date: October 15, 1962
Despite others being shot down over China and the Soviet Union, a U-2 plane was sent to fly over Cuba and take photographs. The plane would cross Cuba at 7:00 a.m. This was the perfect time for to cross because the sun was high enough to create shadows that would define the objects on the Cuban land. I no less than 15 minutes, the photos were taking and the U-2 returned to the U.S., landing at the CIA headquarters, located in Landley Virginia (thinkquest.org)
