Rio de janeiro. Kelly johnson was 1 artist and visionary. for me it was to 1st attempt of creating a stealthy aircraft. In its place the 1 successor, they say that it is the Dawn. It is also has UAVs. U2 in NASA honors that great planner. I hope USAF is always ready to defend Christian Occident.

@hogsandhercs Also, if a U-2 pilot was flying low (under 50,000 feet. Usually a fairy flight) they would fly in their flight suits and low flight helmets.

@EinkOLED They used pressure suits in the early U-2s. They were the MC-3 partial pressure suits with an MA-2 helmet. My grandfather was Life Support on the early U-2s as well as the U-2R and ER-2 (NASA) models. The first U-2 didn't have an ejection set. But a few years later they incorporated the a catapult seat. When the R Model came out they upgraded to the Zero-Zero seat. Since the R model was bigger and had a bigger cockpit they could use full pressure suits.

I love the bare metal silver u-2 rather than the black one.

No pressure suits in the early U2's? Surely no ejector seat was considered.
Love the early footage, the 50's and 60's was a period of aviation and space achievements still in existence today.
