For pilots looking for something different from their usual airline schedule, the Dragon Lady offers an intriguing assignment. Forget requesting a higher cruising altitude—you may need to explain why everyone else is so far below you.
Reconnaissance Takes Center Stage
Miltech’s previews describe three simulated reconnaissance sensors: ASARS-2 radar, a SYERS-2A camera, and an optical bar film camera. Seven missions are planned through the Miltech Mission Hub, giving pilots tasks to accompany the aircraft’s unusual operating profile.
The modern U-2S features a digital cockpit, with Miltech advertising 40 modeled multifunction-display pages and 19 liveries.
That combination makes the mission experience a central part of the package’s appeal. A reconnaissance aircraft invites a different kind of flight planning, with attention shifting toward the equipment aboard and the assignment ahead.
A Chase Car for the Landing
The package includes a chase car providing height calls during the landing flare, reflecting one of the U-2’s most recognizable operating procedures. Included locations announced for the package feature RAF Akrotiri, RAF Fairford, and a historical Groom Lake.
It is a distinctive change of pace: after managing the flight from the cockpit, pilots will have another voice helping them judge those final feet above the runway.
More Variants Planned
The U-2R and NASA ER-2 are planned as free additions for existing owners after launch. These will expand the package beyond the initial modernized aircraft, with further missions and period-appropriate chase cars also announced.
