I would like to add some information to this page.
The list that I have of U2-D aircraft serial numbers has only two. They are 56-6721 and 56-6954. Aircraft 56-6721 is the aircraft on display at the Blackbird Airpark.

Aircraft 953 was converted to a U2-CT and I saw it last in 1986. Where it is now is a good question. There is a picture of a U2-CT (white) and a black tail attached to it. If anyone has this photo, please send me a copy.

I worked on the Air Force U-2 aircraft with the 4080th SRW from 1958-1966. We had two U-2A aircraft that were sent off to Burbank and/or Palmdale later in the program which became U-2D aircraft. These were serial numbers 56-6721 and 56-6953. Where 953 is at today I have no idea. Aircraft 721 was at March AFB, but has been moved to Edwards. I don't believe it is in the Palmdale Museum, but is at Edwards somewhere else.

There is currently a U-2D in the Blackbird Airpark at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale. (It is on display with an SR-71 and an A-12). I do not know the tail number off hand, but if someone real wants to know what it is, they can e-mail me. This U-2 is currently "owned" by the Edwards AFB museum - which owns Blackbird Airpark - and was loaned to the SkunkWorks for a time for display at their facility.

I recently visited the March Field Museum and there was no U2 in sight. How did I miss it?
