A B-Roll package of a student U-2 Dragon Lady pilot conducting their last training flight before becoming an official U-2 pilot with the 99th Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale Air Force Base, California, Oct. 17, 2024. The U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft which delivers critical imagery and signals intelligence to decision makers throughout all phases of conflict, including peacetime indications and warnings, low-intensity conflict, and large-scale hostilities. In order to both achieve flight and land, U-2’s are trailed by chase car drivers that mobilize at high speeds and communicate via radio to safeguard the aircraft by radioing altitude and runway alignments during take-offs and landings.
