Are you curious about what the U-2 spyplane can (still) do?

I hear that on a U2 spyplane, that it’s regulation to have “Where the Streets Have No Name” playing continuously.

You know what’s even cooler and better than the U-2? The SR-71 Blackbird.

Yeah, I don’t doubt it, but it’s also not flying currently.

Great and fascinating article, thanks for the link.

@gorillapaws, you’re welcome… they don’t mention that it lands on two wheels like a bicycle. A chase vehicle has to talk it down for the last few feet until it lands.

From what I’ve been told by some of my fellow Air Force members, the chase vehicles are driven by U-2 pilots talking to the pilot landing the plane.

Why bother with that ancient thing. Reapers are where it’s at. They did however take a lot of skill to fly. Also didn’t they wear adult diapers in case nature called?

@Captain_Fantasy perhaps Pride (in the name of Love) should be broadcast to all military radio frequencies, until people get the point or so sick of Bono they go AWOL.

I hear it still hasn’t found what it’s looking for.
