Mine almost caught fire today from a pool of oil hitting catalytic converter

As it slows to a stop the wing tips actually hit the ground - no support anywhere!!!

With some of the taller pilots, their heads are so high, I wonder if they need to look over the top of the wing instead of under it?

It started with too high a landing idle, it wouldn't settle down,, ran out of runway, nailed throttle and yanked, another warbird expert !

Amazing

They just let it fall on its wing!!!!!

I had one burst into flames on me while driving to work 9 years again. I had to run for my life.

I'm not sure everyone knows how impressive this is. Essentially this is a controlled crash with a VERY low margin of error.

Just to add a bit a scale, can someone tell me how tall Earl was or is if he's still with us.

So it rely on two pickup trucks to support on both side of it’s wing to stay balance upon full stop?

Shoosh, looks like they used your cub on baumanns.

The same clip over and over and over

Sakın yakalanmayın

You cannot start with such cross wind! It will not work! Please try cross wind from the left side at 10oclock.

An incredible aircraft that flew at 70,000 feet in the 1950s "Wow" .. but it also makes you rethink Concord (1970s) also flying at 70,000 feet fully pressurised: a regular passenger service with everything from first-class meals to restrooms (and albeit cramped, rather more comfort for the flight crew I suspect). thank you for posting I was particularly interested in the landing balance issues/protocols for the U-2, again "wow" :)

That plane is so absolutely beautiful!

Yes, this is Beal AFB .I know because I live around there. BUT ISN'T THIS STILL a classified aircraft.?

So you’re telling me you need to know all these fancy terms, all these numbers. Special words this and that to land a damn u-2 spy plane??? Nice.. nice way to say the pilot sucks and can’t land it by himself… I’m a certified fork operator… you heard that correctly! A certified mashed potatoes eater… and I can land that motherfakki w my eyes closed, ears open. And die. 😎 wassup

That pilot gets an A+...is that a TR-1?

Awesome 😮

Is that a Pontiac G8 6.2?

Жалко вас

I don't like those bug splatters on the windshield.

That was awesome slope soaring! Lol! Have you done a build video of that wing?

The pilot has great Skills to keep aircraft level during the Hove ...

Great video close up of Helicopter

How are you suppose to practice these if you never done them and want to go into the academt

Nice Girl and the Aircraft too😂

Those are some efficient wings; I can't believe how quick it got in the air. Excellent footage.

Hey, that's the family model? Never saw one, heard it is a trainer. True?

U-2 needs 2 small wheels on the tip of each wing.

Sweet

I thought they used to roll up to the craft and attach wheels to the wings

Little fucked up mini remote guns

AMAZING!!!

Is th\t with 3 bladed prop?

I was riding in one of these when a hydraulic failure happened. The pilot jumped out in his suit and was running while the fluid spewed on the runway. They should have a space suit race, because I think he set a world record for a 100 in one of those!

That Pontiac was packing some juice that day! (-; Sounds like their flagship V6!

Nice Job Arnold. I am about as much jealous of your flying field as I am your plane.

so is that what runway sounds like a freeway

I love the U-2 Spy Plane. I guess probably because the mystique that surrounds it also it’s Ability to fly in the Stratosphere undetected. At least by Normal Human Eyes.

Ukraninan! Also i know the Pilot flyi ng this particular mission!

Very nicely built

But the Cerva didn´t have any elevators or rudder, right? It used the rotor and propeller for everything...

Well I just found this video Walt, I remember doing this awesome memory my friend.

Everyone involved with this is just amazing. Thank you all for what you do. I do not know very much at all about the u2. I read a lot about the sr72 because I used it everyday in black ops 1. Lol. I just found it fascinating. I think it has been decommissioned though. I'm going to read about the u2 but why isn't there landing gear to make it stable? I don't understand how it's even possible to land on those tiny wheels. Especially that back wheel. And no gear on either side? How do those wings not scrape the ground? And then also how in the world would it land like that in windy conditions? Sorry if those are stupid questions.

Needs more yaw control.........It can be done kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGiklX5vnLN6nZo

The sounds of my childhood living in Moffet flight path

Another interesting rabbit hole journey tonight. Was watching a review of Top Gun Maverick in which the reviewer commented that the “coffin corner” in the movie is not a real coffin corner. So then I look up what a coffin corner is. Wikipedia’s explanation didn’t make complete sense to me so I looked up a video for a visual representation. Happened to notice a comment about the U2 operating right at the coffin corner. Decided to read more about the U2. Flabbergasted at the description of how it lands. Had to see if there was a video. Was not disappointed!

Nice design but maybe a better position for the engine would be an outside cylinder like on CL models
