Beale Resuming U-2 Training Missions After Deadly Sutter County Crash

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS13/AP) – Beale Air Force Base plans to resume training flights for the U-2 spy plane this week following a crash that left one pilot dead and another injured in Northern California.
Base officials said Thursday that training missions were put on hold so personnel could respond to Tuesday’s crash west of the base. However, Col. Larry Broadwell says in a statement that global U-2 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions were not interrupted.
