Dancing with a Dragon: a pilot's tale
Staff Sgt. Sigfred, a U-2S reconnaissance aircraft maintainer, removes aircraft blocks prior to the departure of a U-2S at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, Dec. 10, 2015. Despite the variety of manned and unmanned aircraft that have been proposed to take over the aircraft’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance role in the 60 years since its activation, it still remains a primary reconnaissance aircraft for the Air Force.
