Love that shot of the trainer with the guy in front with his/her arm up in the window - "yup, nice and easy now - right down the middle and watch the crosswind"

Very unique view!

I used to be with "it", but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.
It'll happen to you!

Great pictures!
Like it was yesterday (really 1971), I can remember working approach/departure U-2's out of U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield, Thailand. Never knew their operational altitude over Vietnam, but they would occasionally file IFR to Kadena at FL600.
Very special airplane!
