First flown in 1955 the
plane was put
into
service in 1957. The U2 in the video is one of only 5 known
"trainer" versions which are the only U2's that have 2 seats.
Originally operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
it
is now flown by the United States Air Force (USAF). Take a
ride
in the U2 airplane and the only people that will be higher than you are
those in the International Space Station. On this ride they
hit
70,000 feet...
