The U-2s are not the only high flyers in Afghanstan. A NASA WB-57F (USAF RB-57F) has been there off and on for years. The mission demands are so high that a third "F" has been removed from the bone yard and sent to "overhaul" including avionics / reconnaissance package updates. There are rumors of new engines to replace the TF-33s.
