Way back when I was flying around in military jet, we had occasion to make an emergency landing at a USAF base. While I was on the tarmac, I saw a black U-2, with no markings of any sort, coming in for a landing. I whipped out my camera to record the event, and was suddenly surrounded by MPs with automatic weapons. I managed to calm them down by by identifying myself and giving up the film canister, but it was uncomfortable for a few moments.
