Cool U-2 video.

Post by Chaxterium »

Hey all,

I found this at blog.flightstory.net. Pretty cool.

I’m absolutely fascinated about this video. In 2009 James May, presenter of UK TV series “Top Gear”, took a ride in a USAF Lockheed U-2 (TU-2S two-seat trainer) - they reached an altitude of 70000 feet. If you’re an aviation buff (and I know you are) you definitly have to watch this.

Edit: Apparently I have no idea how to embed youtube videos!

104 KIAS?

What would that translate into approximate groundspeed at 70000 ft?


PS..in the compose message, de-select Disable UBB code, then click on the youtube button at the top, then put your link in the middle of the tags. Make sure it's the basic link and take out any of the embedded stuff...everything after and including the & in the link you posted

I think it might be the fourth time this video is posted on this forum. It's awesome nonetheless.
