Most Difficult Aircraft to Land - U2 Dragon Lady
« on: March 10, 2009, 08:31:04 AM »
The U-2 Dragon Lady is the most difficult plane to land in the world. The two-week-long pilot interview involves three flights. All interview landings are videotaped.
A bit funny though
:-D

Yea, I saw somthing on the Military Channel (or was it Discovery...) about this airplane. They have a chase plane behind the U2 talking him down, because the view from the cockpit on landing is less then ideal. She has a long nose! Pretty neat airplane thou!  8-)
