That U2 was a good find. As a kid we lived at Edwards AFB (Dad did a career in the AF and we lived all over the place). The things going on at Edwards was incredible. We also lived at Hickam AFB...Hawaii...and a U2 would land there on occasion.

You obviously did not encounter any un-detonated energetic materials otherwise you wouldn't be here and I presume you can still count to 20 on your fingers and toes.

I didn't, but a few others did. As I recall, a group of kids found some tear gas and that was that!

Must say that took some creative flying to do that - cool indeed!

Linden is just a state carrier for the unimproved airstrip that the villages are known for.

Those dream lifters are weird aircraft. Especially when the nose and tail open up. Usually those flying bricks refuel in ANC for a stop between the lower 48 and Asia. They generally haul fuselage parts. Kinda cool that the main deck is adjustable. It raises and lowers for whatever they are hauling

I have occasionally seen a Dreamlifter land at the Columbia SC airport on occasion. Usually because of bad weather. Boeing uses them to ferry large parts of the planes they are assembling from their other plants to their Charleston SC facility.
