US flight, great video

This is a very good video of a U2 flight. I'm guessing they were at least 70k feet..... could easily make out the curve of the horizon....

Cool video. You don't see many U-2 two seat trainers.

Several interesting videos on that site... :thinking:

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

James "Captain Slow" May seems like the kind of guy you'd invite over for dinner. What a cool series he did.

From the Background after the landing it looked to be at Beale AFB Cal. about 10 miles from our house. You can see the Gold dredger ponds around Western Agg. in the backgrond.
We see the U2's quite often, flying around here always flyin' high. Great Video.
