The U-2 Dragon Lady and American Muscle on The Downshift - Motor Trend WOT

now this is a pedal to the metal freeway merge I've never seen before, hot on the tail, and hot for sure... of a jet airplane landing on the runway.
Am surprised they don't melt the front plastic of the cars.

Where's the GT500?...

an old but still very cool airplane. Like strapping a rocket to your rear end...

Still at the dealer's lot. Government Motors probably provided a lot of nice cars to Uncle Sam to get out of debt. :D

Nice video,, thanks for sharing!

Got to sit in a cockpit of one, most everything was pulled out. It's amazing when you actually stand next to it, how big it really is.

you know, here's a rare and extremely valuable plane landing, and you'd think they'd give the guy trying to drive the car at over a hundred mph something easier to use than that clunky big aviation hand held radio. How about a headset?

of course I always think Gary Powers when I read something about this plane.
The view from up there must almost be a religious experience, like standing in the center of one of the huge cathedrals in Europe and looking up. A real whoa feeling. The pilot was actually an astronaut.

Very cool.
I fly corporate jets for a living and I always thought that my "office" had the greatest view when we cruise at 45,000 feet. But that is nothing compared to the view that these guys get from 70,000 feet.

no matter how many times I read this I still don't get it. sorry.
I think its related to the guys driving the chase car for a multimillion dollar plane holding the aviation radio in their hands vs using a headset and thew "this" in intended to signify agreement.
