James May of Top Gear had the honor/opportunity of a life time to fly in a U2 spy plane at 70,000ft. That’s twice what an airliner flies at. The footage he took was breath taking and really reminds you just how big this planet is and how small we are. Enjoy.
Oh yeah…the other thing I found amazing is that the U2 spy plane lands on two sets of wheels that are inline…the skill it must take to land like that is amazing as well =)
Quote of the day!
“It’s absolutely…just almost impossible to articulate what it feels like. That is the real thing, Earth. It’s humbling.”
