USAF U-2 pilots never flew over the USSR. CIA did 24 flights 1956-1960.

The first carrier landing was Aug 5, 1963 - three years after powers was shot down and all USSR over flights were terminated. I believe only Lockheed test pilots flew the aircraft. There may have been one "operational " flight off a carrier when we were sampling the French Nuclear tests in the Pacific.

The Mach Tuck accident sounds "fishy." The Pineville LA accident (56-6708) involved pilot Sam Swart on 1 Jul 1967. It happened at a much lower altitude - about 45,000 feet.
