U-2 Just Set New Records On The 70th Anniversary Of Its First Flight
It's amazing to think that 70 years after the Dragon Lady first took to the skies over Area 51 not only is it still operating, it's setting records.

Most of my firearms are this old. Or older. They still work quite well.
I am an air force brat and appreciate the dragon lady.

Not most, but I do own quite a few that qualify.
Happy Birthday to the Dragon lady.
