Channel 2 news is reporting that a U-2 crashed in Northern Cal this morning. Both Pilots ejected and were OK. Nothing further yet.

So tonight's channel 9 news is saying that one of the Pilots was in fact killed. The AF has no comment. Bummer. I've viewed these flights numerous times on ADS-B. Keep the family in your Prayers.

1 pilot deceased, 1 injured in the hospital. There is a video out showing the U-2 crashing, looks like it may have stalled to me.
