U-2 pilots at Beale may still be operating an aircraft designed more than 60 years ago — one that flies so high that pilots still wear pressurized space suits — but now they also wear Garmin watches and bring tablets into the cockpit with them.

Dragon Lady leads the way! Exciting to see the 9th RW taking technology upgrades into their own hands. That is an old bird with a lot of new tech in the cockpit & sensors.
Still nothing better than seeing a U-2 takeoff at sunrise on your way into work.
