USAF U-2S "Dragon Lady" M0723QQM currently over #Iran (Update: pg. 16 second US plane in Iran today?) All broken here. I live near Beale AFB where U-2s are based. Over my house on approach every day on trainings. Amazing to me that an aircraft designed and built before I was born is still in operational use (and I'm old). It is also interesting it's design was based on the F-104 fighter. We don't use U-2 anymore. Have not used them since the 1970-80? we went to satellites for spy network. (Google earth)? were on some new shit now. The newest models (TR-1, U-2R, U-2S) entered service in the 1980s, and the latest model, the U-2S, had a technical upgrade in 2012.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77807869 Technically it was not shot down, a Russian High altitude aircraft (Sukhoi Su-9) flipped it's wings over using turbulence and caused the wings to break. The only aircraft shot down was a Mig 19 flying at lower altitude that got hit by one of their own missiles. |

The threat level means British ships are advised not to enter Iranian waters, BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said. I read reports earlier today that said every British ship in the PG was being shadowed by Iranian boats. To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides day and night, high-altitude, all-weather intelligence gathering.
