Check 6 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 In the video in this article, there appear to be two good chutes and a U-2 in a spin. The "Sutter Buttes" are a group of peaks that rise out of the Sacramento Valley. http://www.kcra.com/news/harrowing-witness-video-shows-u2-spy-plane-crash-in-sutter-buttes/41748404 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
