Civilian U-2 Instructor Pilots, Making History and Training the Nation's Future Fleet of U-2 Pilots

A U-2 piloted by retired Lt. Col Jonathan Huggins, 1st Reconnaissance Squadron U-2 instructor pilot, prepares for takeoff July 31, 2020 at Beale Air Force Base, California. U-2 pilots have limited forward visibility due to the extended aircraft nose combined with the slight upward tilt of the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Luis A. Ruiz-Vazquez.)
