U2 Spy Plane - Cockpit View At 70,000 Feet
Very cool to see from a pilots perspective. From take off to landing (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
That was a nice flight. Made me wonder why he never showed the rightside. I didn't see anything special hanging from it on landing. I dig the stall tuft.
Nice video.. Thanks for sharing.
It is surprising that whatever it was, duct tape maybe,?? that this is still fluttering in the wind on the nose cone at probably the 70,000 foot level. This can be seen between 6.45 to 6.55 minutes of the clip. Any one have any explanation as to why this is still attached at such a high speed.

Definitly not duct tape.... Not sure what it is, or if it supposed to be there for a reason... I saw it to and was wondering.
Its a stall tuft. If the angle of attack nears stall the pilot will see the disrupted flow.
