Right now at my Eastern time 10:00 PM There is a show on the military channel about the history of the SR-71. It gives a decent showing of the history of the U-2 also, and has very rare video clips of the first one being unloaded at Groom! I know this because I've seen that picture I'm sure most of you have seen of the first U-2 coming down a ramp off of a cargo plane at Groom under a white tarp. Also they state, "The first U-2 is unloaded at "The Test Site"! Very good videos, and a few of the king of aeronautical engineering himself and the first head of The SkunkWorks Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. I do hope some of you can catch this!
