U-2 gets reprieve...

Sometimes, old stuff still has it's uses, even old guys like me. But I digress. The venerable U-2 isn't going to the scrap heap just yet.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Saw this yesterday. Nice to see this icon still flying.

I hate to see iconic aircraft retire. This project is going to put the U-2 in the skies for years to come. :)
