Today I got to ride in a chase car...chasing U2s as they land. We learned all about the U2s and got to look inside one, asked lots of questions and just had a good time. I think our top speed was about 115mph, but that was just for fun. Really they only come in about 90mph. And we saw the bird guy...whose job it is to keep birds off the runway. (I went with Val Duncan, one of the chaplain assistant’s wives/my friend.)
Me and Val
We had a great driver!
Taxiing in. You can kind of see this side of the wing dipped down quite a bit.
So to get it back up the maintainers hang on the other side to pull it down.
Apparently sometimes this just happens when they turn.
