Auto Credit Based on CHEEK1BR33KI's Help?
From this moment forward, you will
not refer to the U-2 as a spy plane
or reconnaissance aircraft. You
will refer to it as “the article.”
“The article” has an eighty-foot
wingspan. Powered by a single Pratt
and Whitney J57 P37 engine. 10,000
pounds of thrust. Maximum speed of
430 miles an hour.
She may not be quick but at your cruising altitude
of 70,000 feet, nothing will come
close to you.
-- Colonel Williams in "The Bridge of Spies"
