Wow, that is some amazing flying. U2s are hard enough to land when the runway isn't moving. On normal landings, coming in 1 knot too fast results in the aircraft touching down 1000ft beyond its intended touchdown location. Except here the runway is angled, pitching, rolling, and moving away from you at an angle. Could you imagine pitching deck exercises in this thing?

I think the plane in the background is an S-1 Tracer (old designation WF Willy Fudd) airborne early warning. If not, it is probably the ship's own COD, Carrier Onboard Delivery S-1 Trader.

that is a big plane for an aircraft carrier landing.

Bullshit!

@MediaWhore09 The forward speed of the aircraft carrier would be enough for the pilot to keep the wings level. The ailerons are effective at a much lower speed than would be required to lift off.

@refused215 that is freaking fascinating. amazing.
-
@shdwcaster hell i can't hardly see it lol, looked like a heli to me!
-
@SecondStepGaming That's not a helicoptor, it's a Grumman S-2 Tracker with the wings folded.
-
@legoman05 ahh ok idk how i didnt notice
-
@SecondStepGaming no the helicopter on the deck. Its a blackhawk or sea hawk.

How did the pilot manage not to tip it over? usually they have to grab the wings and stick the peg wheels in there right away.

The U-2 is designed to tip over on its wingtip during every landing. It has abradable tip that is replaced when it wears down. After it comes to a full stop they put the "pogo" wheels in place so that it can taxi to parking.
