Why would anyone want to fly it ?

I don't know, but I don't think there's been many accidents with it.

A story years ago of a U-2 pilot who had a flame out and sent out a Mayday; he was a couple hundred miles from Bermuda which answered his mayday, requesting his location and rescue instructions....He radioed back to not bother, as he had enough altitude to glide to their runway.
