Quite hard to say really, like the E-3 and U-2 are very different planes.

SR71, This hot little lady actually leaked fuel on the tarmac untill its skin heated up by air friction. Impressive plane to me, but not cheap!

You know with all the "E" planes listed those are more of Airborne Early warning planes, not so much as spy planes.
Now the "R" planes on the other hand were recon configured i.e.: RC-135, RC-130, MR2,

The E3 is AWACS isn't it? Detection more than recon I would've said.

I do like the U-2 though.

Nothing else could touch it. That's the reason for it being built under licence by Martin as the B-57 & the RB-57 being developed from it. http://www.internetmodeler.com/awn/97-december/rb-57.htm

The RB-57, that is name of it. I was surfing like a daemon for it this morning but could not find the dam thing. I guess I was not asking the correct question Grin

I had no idea how many variations (51) there were or the number of countries that operated (20 including some you would have neve guessed) and 60 RAF squadrons Shocked

. It has see action in just about every conflict or war since it entered service up until the Gulf

Gulf II that is, and Afghanistan if we consider the RAF Canberras.
