Poll is flawed
Of those listed, I chose the TU-95 RT

Re: Recon plane
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:16 pmYou know with all the "E" planes listed those are more of Airborne Early warning planes, not so much as spy planes.
Now the "R" planes on the other hand were recon configured i.e.: RC-135, RC-130, MR2,

I do like the U-2 though.

Nothing else could touch it. That's the reason for it being built under licence by Martin as the B-57 & the RB-57 being developed from it. http://www.internetmodeler.com/awn/97-december/rb-57.htm

The RB-57, that is name of it. I was surfing like a daemon for it this morning but could not find the dam thing. I guess I was not asking the correct question
I had no idea how many variations (51) there were or the number of countries that operated (20 including some you would have neve guessed) and 60 RAF squadrons
. It has see action in just about every conflict or war since it entered service up until the GulfHistory

Gulf II that is, and Afghanistan if we consider the RAF Canberras.
