This is pretty damned awesome.... enjoy it
*/Fasten your seat belt for a fantastic ride/*.
This video is a once in a lifetime experience of a British civilian
getting
a flight at over 70,000 ft. in a U-2 spy plane. Please note at
the take-off
the assist wheels on the outer edges of the wings which drop off upon
take-off. The wings are so long that they need temporary support
until
lift-off. What is not shown is at the landing the plane actually
slows to a
small enough speed that two guys are actually able to grab the wing
tips and
put those assist wheels back on.
The civilian getting the ride is the host of the car show*Top Gear
on BBC****(James May)*
shown through Europe at 9:00 pm Sunday night in Belgium. The
views are
spectacular as the U-2 flies at altitudes which constitute "SPACE."
Use your full screen and sound as this is a high-quality film clip, 10
minutes long.
