Havent seen guards around U-2s for ages.
When they were based at RAF Fairford, and the RIAT was on, they let people inside the cockpit, underneath a large sun umbrella.
But only for that year, havent seen that since (mainly cause they have been moved to Istres Le Tube in France.

When the F-117s are displayed at the UK, which is frequent, there isnt much in the way of guards on them euther, believe it or not.
LAst time i saw one on a static display (the other was flying) there was one guard there, very relaxed and the actual guard rail was extremely CLOSE, i had a VERY good look at the jet pipes and so on, really up close.
So they cant be that 'security freaked' atleast not in the UK anyway.

P.S the Yugo wreck is just that, a complete burnt out wreck and not 'alot' can be sampled from it due to the extensive damage that had happened with the fire afterwards.
