Why do you think so? I ask because most of the people that flew the missions, as well as those that authorised them, are still alive today, exposure could be embarrassing in some cases. Besides, the public domain has enough accessible records of nuke sniffer flights and lo-hi-lo alt PR flights to keep conspiricists happily busy for years. You won’t find much about singleton “penetrations” though, at least not for another 30 years or so.
I say ‘publicising’ meaning learning for the benefit of aviation enthusiasts and historians. I had no intention of providing any fodder for the conspiracists, they will find it anyway.
True but only if you have the time, and resources, to wade through several US databases matching a/c serials, unit numbers and flight records from one with “supposed” mission profiles and unit locations from others.
Not true as I have just finished reading ‘By Any Means Necessary’, the story of America’s Secret Air War. This provides very detailed information of the planes, crews, missions and the planning and strategy during the cold war. There is a summary of the crews and planes lost during those times which I think is a fitting memorial to those times. 🙂
