The Perfect Spot to Watch a U2 Landing!
I shot this picture from the Mobile - a Z28 Camaro, used as a chase car. The Mobile is driven by a U2 pilot whose job it is to call out altitude and watch for any problems during the takeoff or landing. The U2 pilot's vision is badly restricted by his space suit helmet and keeping the wings level after a very long and tiring mission is difficult. The trick is to wait at the side of the runway until the U2 flies past. Then stomp on the gas, hang a vicious 90 degree turn, and get behind him as fast as possible. It's an E-ticket ride! I liked it so much I came home and bought myself a Z28! |
