We used to watch U2 … We used to watch U2’s flying out of Wethersfield Airbase back in early/mid eighties. (RAF Wethersfield/ Red Horse runway repair Base)
I’m lucky enough to … I’m lucky enough to live near the Base this was filmed at. See these flying overhead all the time. Amazing pieces of machinery. God bless our troops!
This is ALL WRONG!! … This is ALL WRONG!!! It should have been ME UP THERE!!! This guy talks funny. He looks funny. That pathetic PLF was probably the first time he’d hit a mat since grade school! I want my U2 flight! H*ll, I’d LIKE to bail out @70K feet . Props to Kittinger.
It’s not easy that … It’s not easy that James knows what pilots called “coffin cornor. But the new U2 may not so easy meet “stall” or “Overspeed” whit new engine than 1960’s. Taiwan pilots were the first to use? U2 (Dragon lady) in combat and shot dwon by SAM-2 and met Mig-21 in the 70,000 ft.
This must have been … This must have been an absolutely amazing experience. I remember my first flight in the old F-4 Phantom’s. It was incredible. I can only imagine the euphoria May felt.
I didn’t know until … I didn’t know until I saw this clip (well actually the other one (of the flight)) that the U-2 needs pace cars to help it to land…
