@usairforce 🐉 A dragon (lady) over the sea 🐉
.
The bealeafb U-2 Dragon Lady was a critical hub of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in the Northern Edge 21 Exercise in Alaska. This aircraft delivers critical imagery and signals intelligence to decision makers throughout all phases of conflict, and due to its ability to gather ISR information, the aircraft is routinely flown at altitudes over 70,000 feet. This requires the U-2 pilot to wear a full pressure suit similar to those worn by astronauts.
