Dudeman sent me this via email:

Breathtaking spy plane footage of the Lockheed U-2.

That's really something - great video, what a view.

Kind of on the same page as the message in the U-2 video.


When I was about 6 or 8 I used to sit and watch Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" videos for hours, not sure if I understood everything he was talking about but the way he talks about the universe is just captivating. I even wrote him a letter and he and his wife sent me one back.

My parents thought I was going to be some kind of a whiz kid scientist, what happened?! :lol:

and here's an entertaining video of pilots trying to land the U-2.

That reminds me of trying to fly the "crosswind landing in the SU-25T" mission.
