A U-2, assigned to Beale Air Force Base, California, takes-off for a Weapons School Integration mission at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Nov. 22, 2021. Long and narrow wings give the U-2 glider-like characteristics and allow it to quickly lift heavy sensor payloads to unmatched altitudes, keeping them there for extended periods of time.
