    Guarded these U-2 back in early 1971. McCoy AFB SAC, Orlando Florida. Every morning g at least once a week just before light, the ground crew would arrive pre- flight the plane...then at twilight the van would roll up beside plane and the unknown guy in the space suit would eventually get out carrying a box attached to his suit by a hose we all figured it a personal breathing box. Once in cockpitand hooked up the box went back into van. Later that day at sun set u-2 could be seen coming in for landing...the hangar had at least 2 aircraft in there. That post was interesting for grave yard shift. Got to walk around both aircraft...first time ever saw a zip lock baggie! The techs would remove a panel put all but one screw in bag then with last screw screw the bag to the frame so nothing would be misplaced or lost. Bet the ground crew pilfered those those zip loc bags for sandwich bags.... that U-2 was outstanding almost straight up after getting air borne. Landing was like a lazy glider...😊

    In 1984, during a NATO exercise, Flight lieutenant Mike Hale of the RAF intercepted a U-2 at a height which they had previously considered safe (thought to be 66,000 feet (20,000 m)). Records show that Hale also climbed to 88,000 ft (27,000 m) in his Lightning F. 3 XR749.

    Soviets was able to shot down that plane with surface to air missle in may 1960... so this plane was not up to the task over 64 years ago... The first flight of this plane was in 1955 and it became obsolete in december 11, 1957 when Soviets introduced S-75 to their army. In case of stealth planes it is even more ridiculus as Czechoslovaks developed Kopáč passive sensor in the 1960s and first stealth plane was introduced into service in 1983 and the first generation of the passive sensors were already replaced by the second generation in 1979(Ramona passive sensor). atm. 4th generation of passive sensors are in use but that do not bother people that make this type of videos about stealth planes...
