Default Flying the U-2 Large Pattern

Put the pattern heading up there, maybe the RCU police won't move this.

That 's Incredible!! 100 Awesome...Totally Captivating..

The U-2 is an incredible aircraft!! If I remember correctly there is one hanging from the ceiling at Robbins AFB museum which id painted up real nice...Just beautiful ...Very close to it sits an Incredibly Beautiful SR-71...That museum is a must see for any aviation buff traveling past it!!

Thanks for posting!!

No, I do. They just have cool jobs that pay well and are visible. Invisibility has its advantages - no paparazzi, for instance.

I code Spektrum air transmitters. That reminds me, I have to fix my profile. Haven't lived in Champaign for a year.

The U-2 is a beautiful plane. I've always liked the A model best. The newer ones have a much larger wing and stab area and a longer tail moment. Hummmmm..............a scale thermal glider perhaps?

Holy Cow, That's the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. I couldn't imagine the thrill of being able to tl\ake a ride like that.
