A pilot who was new to flying the U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane attempted a stall maneuver before the two-seater training aircraft crashed in northern California, killing instructor Lt. Col. Ira S. "Shooter" Eadie.
An Accident Investigation Board report released Wednesday said the pilot -- interviewing for his "acceptance flight" to the U-2 program -- was practicing his "approach to stall" maneuver with Eadie when he put the aircraft into an unintentional second stall.
