You claimed, as shown, the U2 isn’t 50 years old...In fact, it is 58 years old....Yes, it is still being used, albeit updated models, but the fact remains the U2 IS over 50 years old.....

I’ll spell it out for our resident aviation geniuses here on FR since it’s apparent there is a basic lack of understanding...

The “basic” design, of which the current model is representative of, is over 50 years old. I concede a point that I don’t recall ever debating, but apparently I somehow did?...however, if you look at the link in post 39, you might find something that clearly shows the aircraft this article is referring to are anything but.

The article “claims” the U2 is over 50 years old. I refute that because, although the current is similar in appearance to the former, they are, in no other fashion related.

So you geniuses can now get back to your “debate”...or posting rebuttals or whatever...I’m done.
