If you look carefully in the middle of the video, you might see Chalenge in his P51 12 o'clock high. :)

I do believe I've met an AHer who flies U2s, but I cant recall his name.


edit: I'd give my left nut to fly those things

An acquaintance of mine and fellow photographer recently flew in and actually flew a U-2.  There are many civilians that have flown in the two-place U-2.

Here's a link to Sagar's blog and video of his flight.
