I've actually been on a chase car ride.. Pretty cool experience (going from 0 to 100+ MPH in a few seconds and then slowing all the way down to around 60MPH 20 feet behind the jet)... The last landing looked pretty rough, the jet started turning sideways...

U2's an interesting jet - I have no desire to fly one; I don't think I could sit like that for hours on end...

Ouch those landings look painful and expensive to repair the damage.

Air Force should have learned from the Navy with this type. These Pilots are the Best of the Best and this beast is so tricky that the Best can not grease it in. They should have a different procedure, like a tailhook Navy type landing that slows the aircraft like the rubber emergency system slowly and not like the carrier metal wires. It would keep the groundlooping down. Those are just plain scary!

To drive in the Chase Car? That must have been AWESOME!
