U-2 Video
 
The U-2 Dragon Lady: The Evolution - YouTube

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen it yet.

Here's another one: Ride in a U2 spy plane flight Beale AFB 1080 HD U-2 landing and takeoff - YouTube
I really like the way the shadows show up at 4:40. That worked out great.

That's awesome Huggy. Does the Wing ever give incentive rides in that thing?

We do.
But rarely is it other than gov't/mil leaders, or credentialed media.
The guy in the video I showed was doing a piece that went into AF Times.
One of the photos he shot on that flight was used on the cover of Air & Space just a few months ago. His website is Horizontal Rain, Imagery by Sagar N. Pathak

I would've enjoyed crewing that jet. When I tested for tech a few years back, we had to study U-2 systems and were asked questions about it on the SKT. The airplane seemed simple enough. Sometimes I wish I was still on the line.

That is not an airplane for people with claustrophobia!

Huggy, are you in either/both of those videos? (You don't need to divulge details, if so). One of the youtube comments pays you (Huggy) a nice compliment.

Pretty incredible work you do, sir.

I'm friends with one of those guys...I didn't know he was in a video!

Nice video.
