"XRAY 88" U-2S on short final for runway 25. This aircraft has been rebuilt twice apparently. The first time due to severe turbulence (rumored to be fired upon by North Korea in 1997). Also damaged by fire in the UAE 2008. This photo is copyright © Dan Stijovich, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
