From Earth to 70,000-ft. in the U-2 Spy Plane (Video)

Before there was the SR-71 Blackbird…all the way back to 1957, the U-2 “Dragon Lady” has been spying and watching over the bad-guys. She’s even played a part in modern day conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan. This video takes us from ground to 70-thousand feet and back for the plane’s unique landing.
The original video footage was about 20 minutes long, so I cropped it down to this 6-minute video.
