Interesting how it takes off as a single-seater and lands as a two-seater.

However, it's good that the video wasn't given a loud music soundtrack.

Boring? Come on now.....the high altitude chart case.... stuffed right behind his head, the fact that it is 2014 and he has to use charts at all? I never realized they used a yoke as opposed to a stick.....did you catch how much that thing moved when he was waaaaaay up there and the fact that the wings hardly moved. That he was using a Canon to catch photos...poor choice, should have been a Nikon. He tapped into a strawberry margarita about ten minutes in, I totally missed the flight attendant delivering it to him. And the coup de grace, looks like didn't retract the gear until he was about 8 or 9000 feet....rookie move. :-)

8 or 9,000 feet in a U-2 after takeoff takes about 45 seconds!
