Good afternoon all... :)

Think you might enjoy this one:

This is 50+ Year Old technology!

From watching this video, you can see why the U-2 is considered the most difficult aircraft in the world to fly. Each pilot has a co-pilot, who chases the aircraft on the runway in a sports car. Most of the cars are either Pontiac GTOs or Chevrolet Cameros - the Air Force buys American.

Excellent video Doug. :)

But was that Jeremy Clarkson? If so, how the heck did he get a ride in a U2? :o

Thanks. He looks like and sounds like a young Clarkson to me.
