Landing the U2
The visibility from the cockpit is so limited that when landing the pilot has to rely on instructions from another U-2 pilot driving a car that races on to the runway when the plane is coming into land. These chase cars have reached speeds close to 140mph.

The bulbous lumps under the wing tips are for skidding along the runway when they come to a rest, iirc.
It is a very Kerbal aircraft.

if you meant a pilot's eye view then there was a cockpit video or photos a little while back, or was that the SR71?
either way there's a link on here, somewhere

Shurley shome mishtake?
It's great just to see it without his faux lad act and the other two pretending to laugh at his awful jokes.

Why doesn't anyone tell the pilots that the wheels have fallen off
Seems like it would be important to me, for landing and stuff.
Yeah, I know they are meant to fall off. I'm just fascinated by how they end the landing. Does the plane just tip over on one side, or does someone catch it?

Duct tape a rollerskate to each wing tip, sorted.
