Gorgeous!

[@ReverseOps]

Thank you!

[@richardgelber2740]

Outstanding!! These U-2's have been in use for high-altitude surveillance for over 60 years.

[@ReverseOps]

Thanks, It is one of my favorites!

[@Chris-lv7uj]

Where was the car that helps them land? Mega great video as it's super rare to see those! 10/10!

I wanted to fill the frame with the U-2 so the chase car is just out of frame till the very end. It was a burnt orange Camaro. In the past here they have used Tesla's and once even a Lamborghini.

Can't use just any old car for such a grand old lady!@@ReverseOps

[@marvindebot3264]

Nice catch, was that a USAF or a weather service aircraft?

[@ReverseOps]

Thanks, it is USAF

[@marvindebot3264]

Had to be one of the two, it wouldn't have been NASA's all the way out there. @@ReverseOps

[@Torpedomtb]

must be transitioning to or from South Korea

[@ReverseOps]

Could be, I don't know for sure.
