U-2 "Dragon Lady" spy plane

The  Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, high altitude  reconaissance aircraft  operated by the  United States Air force  (USAF) and previously flown by the  CIA. It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 feet, 21,300 meters), all-weather  intelligence gathering. Lockheed Corporation  originally proposed it in 1953, it was approved in 1954, and its first test flight was in 1955. It was flown during the  Cold War  over the  Soviet Union, China,  Vietnam, and  Cuba. The USAF currently has no plans of retiring this aircraft and it is still in service. It is one of the few aircraft that have been in service for more than 50 years. It flies just like any other plane, AG1+roll to for steerable landing gear. I know it originally had no landing gear but I like having landing gear. I tried to get the dimensions as close as possible to the real thing as I could, so the length and wingspan are about the same as the real thing. The rear stabilisers are based off of images, so they might be a bit inaccurate.
I could run it on a school chromebook, so it should be mobile friendly as well because chromebooks suck.
