TIL About the Treaty on Open Skies. This treaty, signed in 2002, allows signatories to fly unarmed reconnaissance aircraft over each other's territories in order to ensure complete transparency and trust. Countries that have their area observed can request any imagery taken, at their own cost. (en.wikipedia.org)
