Where was Powers' flight originally supposed to end before being shot down?
Moscow
Washington
Paris
Bodø, Norway
Answer
Bodø, Norway, was the intended destination of Francis Gary Powers' U-2 spy plane flight. Unfortunately, his aircraft was hit by a surface-to-air missile over Sverdlovsk, forcing him to abandon the mission and parachute to the ground, where he was captured by the Soviet Union.
