Actually, the plane wasn't a spy plane and the Red Chinese didn't force it down.

Unless the reports have been corrected, or you are in the secret circle, it was a spy plane.

And while technically correct, it wasn't forced down (that we are told about, but then again, you may be in the secret circle) it did collide with a chinese fighter, which had scrambled to intercept it and was forced to land on chinese soil.

Wrong on both counts. They were listening to preparations for a nuke test and they were forced down by a fighter that bumped their aircraft. The Navy pilot was heroic in avoiding a crash landing.
