I can hear Adlai Stevenson as the world sees these pictures for the first time in the UN; "Don't wait for the translation!"
Good shots!

Three U.S. Navy Ling-Temco-Vought A-7E Corsair II attack aircraft of Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in the
Arabian Gulf on 24 October 1982. The A-7E nearer to the camera belonged to attack squadron VA-22 "Fighting Redcocks." It is overall light grey, which was used, when the
U.S. Navy transitioned from the high-visibility paint scheme used between 1956 and 1981 to low-visibility schemes. It also carries a Texas Instruments AN/AAR-45 FLIR pod.
The other two A-7Es were from VA-94 "Shrikes" and are already painted in (then) new low-visibility scheme. The Enterprise was on a deployment to the Western Pacific an
the Indian Ocean from 1 September 1982 to 28 April 1983.

Major Rudolph Anderson's U-2, shot down in Cuba, October 27, 1962, as the world teeters on the brink.
Never saw that before.

It's like it has the measles.
Good shots!
Bizarrely enough, there are bits of Anderson's U-2 in the Caen War Memorial in Normandy, France, on loan from a museum in Cuba.
There is some kind of logic as it is part of the exposition dedicated to the Cold War at the Memorial.
