99th ERS Dragon Lady pilot accomplishes combat sortie milestone

The 380th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron members get ready to place pogo wheels on the U-2S Dragon Lady moments after landing. These bicycle-type wheels are used to support the aircraft's extended wing span during taxi for all take offs and landings. It’s the unique design that gives the U-2 its remarkable performance and makes flying very challenging. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Julie Briden-Garcia)
