keeping

it pinned on the deck.

Whooooo...  I had heard about the U-2 carrier trials when I was in the  

USAF.  That's the first video or pics of any sort I have seen of it.   

Pretty darn cool.



They sure didn't need a catapult to get it back in the air.  It only  

needs a couple hundred feet to be airborne.



Thanks Ron!

Many of those were touch and go's. His hook wasn't down. That brought back of lot of memories of my Navy days. That was the USS Ranger, CV61, that I was on from 1973 to 1976. Never saw a U2 in the pattern though. It is decommisioned in Bremerton, WA now.
