Lockheed U-2 Flight - 70,000ft (2 Seat TU-2 Trainer)First Important Note: The music is called "Flight" performed by Ty Unwin especially for this show. I'm sad to say that it is not currently available on its own. . Check out www.youtube.com For clips from the training as well as some alternative scenes from the flight. - Surely the most amazing and humbling views to be seen by any human on a regular basis. The view from a U-2 cruising at 70000ft as the sky above turns black and the curvature of the Earth is visible. Despite first flying over 50 years ago, the U-2 continues to serve in the USAF, having outlasted its Mach 3 replacement, the SR-71 (also from Lockheed). The only people to have gone gone higher on any sort of regular basis were SR-71 pilots. Astronautics have, of course, gone higher still, but certainly not on a regular basis. There is a special message at the end of the video that I hope can be taken to heart by all.

Lockheed U-2 Carrier OPS DeclassifiedIn early 1964 Bob Schumacher conducted a number of trial landings and take-offs from the USS Ranger and a number of other CIA pilots, including Jim Barnes, became carrier qualified. The target for the U-2G was the French nuclear test site, situated at Mururoa Atoll in the middle of the South Pacific, well out of the range of a land-based U-2. Consequently, in May 64 a U-2G operating from the USS Ranger photographed Mururoa Atoll and until 1968 three of the cias fleet of U-2s and a number of pilots were always carrier capable, although few actual sorties were ever flown.

(link seems to be broken) www.beanerbanner.com Did you know that we occasionally flew armed reconnaissance missions and in some cases actually exchanged fire with the Soviets with the aircraft like the RB-47? www.spyflight.co.uk www.b-29s-over-korea.com For more U-2 footage. www.creativefission.com
