Chasing the Dragon Lady

The crew chases the U2 Dragon Lady down the flight line, providing the pilot insight via radio with ground to aircraft distance information as he approached the runway Mar. 25, 2011, in Southwest Asia. With several touch and go landings the pilot simulated several worst case scenarios such as a blown engine or broken flap, to demonstrate how he would strategically land the aircraft safely.
