U.S. Air Force Maj. Jack, U2S Dragon Lady instructor pilot assigned to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing hits nearly 100 mph in a chase car behind a U2 Dragon Lady aircraft as it lands at Beale Air Force Base, California, June 14, 2016. The U2S aircraft structure can make it challenging to land, so to ensure a safe and accurate landing, an additional U2S pilot operates as a ground-based wingman who communicates with the pilot in the cockpit of the plane. The wingman lets the pilot know how many feet they are from the ground and which way to direct the aircraft’s rudder to keep the plane on the runway. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
