Wiki
The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 feet; 21,000 m), 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. In 1960, Gary Powers was shot down in a CIA U-2A over the Soviet Union by a surface-to-air missile (SAM). Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. was shot down in a U-2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
U-2s have taken part in post–Cold War conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and supported several multinational NATO operations. The U-2 has also been used for electronic sensor research, satellite calibration, scientific research, and communications purposes. The U-2 is one of a handful of aircraft types to have served the USAF for over 50 years, such as the Boeing B-52 and Boeing KC-135. The newest models (TR-1, U-2R, U-2S) entered service in the 1980s, and the latest model, the U-2S, had a technical upgrade in 2012.

If anyone complains about landing, it’s realiatic
Not gonna lie, this plane makes me feel "high" (I'm sorry)

Landing feels like landing a giant bicycle

how do you get text and images on the screenshot
I talked to my uncle a few days ago. I knew he had designed some of the camera systems for one of the Spy planes, but I found out from him that it was the U-2. @Dinoairplanes
@SimpleBoii You have a Dicord?
@SimpleBoii Photoshop and puting in DesignerSuite and take a photo, Yes with  command
@Akali Photoshop
And you make very detailed planes and very good
Wow. How did you put the flag in the lower left corner?
@Dinoairplanes
Ah, the infamous (or famous) U-2.
@Tully2001 No idea either
@Tully2001 what you are doing here?
So, the reason Area 51 gained the conspiracy was because they hid testing of this plane and other experimental tech. That’s why it stayed a secret. So no one could leak it’s production to foreign adversaries. NOTHING. ELSE. (No aliens, no dark matter generators, no UFO’s, NONE OF THAT CRAP.)
@temporaryaccount ???
especially as it was built on windows it might have been able to have been forgiven if it was on ios but never on windows @temporaryaccount
@Dinoairplanes all I can say is compared to this one, my plane looks like it has down syndrome...
