RE: Don't fly with FLYOU
I would have loved to have been there when they explained that concept to the first test pilot.
Skunkworks - "You ready to fly"
Test Pilot - "Why are there only 2 wheels?"
SW - We'll put some on before you take off
TP - What happens to those wheels
SW - They fall off
TP - How do I land
SW - See Cletus and bill? They are going to take off down the runway while you are landing and put their cars underneath your wings
TP - Billions of development for this spy plane and you're landing gear is a Jeep from WW2?
SW - Nope. 2 Jeeps from a junkyard
(I actually get why they did it but I still think it's funny. Could the U2 be considered a Motorcycle???)

Yes ASmittie, they would have 2 Chase cars follow the U2 down the runway so it could put it's wings on the hood of the cars. Very sweet experience.

Amusing to see government owned muscle cars[8D]
It's basically a drag race with the plane to reach it at the end of the runway when it comes to a stop.
Very impressive to watch.

RE: Don't fly with FLYOU
nice find rvizzle! You're not a real pilot until you've dragged an engine (or a wingtip).

Currently they're using Z-28 Camaros, or Mustang GTs.

Unless NASA is using it for high altitude testing the U2 would be a bigger government waste than the cars catching the plane.
