U2 的高空穩定性極弱,在超速與失速之間的差別只有十浬—超速五浬以上飛機會解體,減速五浬以上則會失速下降——因此,需要自動駕駛幫助維持速度,手動駕駛極為困難。但是此刻華錫鈞只能靠著臂力緊緊抓住駕駛盤,隨著油料越來越少,飛機越來越輕,U2 開始往上飄,他緊咬著牙維持「平飄」(因為已經熄火),就這樣飄了兩個多小時。突然,他看到飛機下方似乎有個雲洞,仔細觀察發現,原來飛機已經出海。他趕緊取出地圖比對,下面的島嶼似乎是一江山與大陳島!華錫鈞大膽地打開無線電,與基地取得聯絡,終於在導引下安全返回桃園。
但是,為什麼北京竟然沒有部屬防空飛彈呢?
幾十年後,華錫鈞在美國有機會接觸中共出版的空軍書刊,才解開謎底:原來當年中共因防空飛彈有限,將北京的防空飛彈都移到 U2 飛機常出沒的航線上,沒有料想到竟有這麼大膽的飛行員敢飛到北京上空來拍照,華錫鈞才沒有在北京上空被飛彈襲擊。
