Lockheed U-2S Dragon Lady
The Lockheed U-2S is the latest in a long line of U-2 models and has the most advanced cockpit of any U-2. No matter what your age, you can bet that less than 10 people your same age will ever fly the real aircraft. Now you have the chance to experience the US Air Force’s high-altitude reconnaissance platform with the reputation of being one of the most difficult to land in the USAF inventory. We have carefully crafted this model to give you the feel of being a U-2 pilot. From the 30 degree nose high takeoff to cruise above 70k feet, to the bicycle gear configured tail dragger landing and a few other surprises it will give you a front seat view to life as a U-2 pilot. Now you can experience the U-2’s mission and flight characteristics in X-Plane.
