Talk:Lockheed U-2

On the Flight Test Museum Foundation website, they say that the U-2D that they have at Blackbird Airpark (in this article it's called the Production Flight Test Installation Air Force Plant 42, which is another issue), is the only remaining U-2D. Does anyone have any information proving that the other ones listed under U-2D in the Aircraft on Display section are actually U-2Ds, and not another variant, or that the website is inaccurate?

Article lead: 'It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 feet, 21,300 meters), all-weather intelligence gathering.' Specifications section, Performance: 'Service ceiling: 80,000 ft (24,000 m) plus' Also: 'Powers was taking notes when his thoughts were powerfully interrupted by a bright orange flash that he later estimated was behind and to the right of his aircraft at his current elevation of 70,500 feet.' https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/Spy-Pilot.pdf The lead needs editing: It provides day and night, high-altitude (above 70,000 feet, 21,300 meters), all-weather intelligence gathering.

Redjacket3827, saw your edit at Lockheed U-2 § Primary list re: TR-1B → U-2R(T) → TU-2S. I sorta mostly believe that, but do you have a citable source for it? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹(Tadg^Talk-Email) 02:46, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

Lot of great Cold War details there, might be best served spinning that off separately and keeping a shortened blurb on this page (linking over to the new one of course) Brianmarx (talk) 22:14, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
