Obviously since they're still doing the high flyin' spyin' thing,  U2 "still haven't flound what they're lookin' for....." Roll Eyes  

Grin


To answer the question posed though......seen them on many occasions......most memorable was just south of YYZ ....I saw a departure which came overhead and appeared to climb out at 75 degrees or more........wow ! looked straight up from my perspective, but I know they didn't have that capability. Still, very impressive ! Shocked

Man, what a show... even a U-2!  Shocked

The bit of blur adds to the atmosphere of the shot, given the spy-plane...  Wink
