Some incredible photos of the Dragon Lady and SR-71 by this photographer.

Linked below is a fascinating blog post detailing the process, from getting permission from the Air Force to preparing for the flight and working with the crew at Beale.

Secretly tested at Groom Lake and still in service nearly 70 years later, the U2 is remarkable.

Thought this might be of interest to some of you.
