Mark Kettle 1 Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 The iconic U2 Dragon lady reconnaissance plane taking off on a mission from Fairford, United Kingdom. The footage shows the use of the chase car doing its duties on the runway. In addition to this two B2 Spirit stealth bombers, Spirit of New York and Spirit of Ohio take off from the same base. After a few hours both returned, video of flight line as they came in to land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_K Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Me 262. A 1:1 scale model? i.e. I don't know how much is original. The film gives a nice sense of the proportions of the aircraft however. If you find the embeded video does not play this is the link to the video.

eflightray Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The Smithsonian Channel, (Freeview channel 57), has some interesting programs on aircraft occasionally, the 'Air Warriors' is quite a good one, check the listings/guide. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingcoax Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Re the 262, Who remembers the unforgettable sight of the 1/2 size 262 going in at Woodvale several years ago due to a bird strike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR 71 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes the U2 still flies nearly every day from Acritiri Cyprus, right next to our patch, it was very very noisy, odd times it would come round so low over our heads, wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
