Nice footage, yeah.
But what I want to know is who in the world is this "James" character?

What's with the "chase cars" behind the plane on takeoff...?

Indeed a "Ride of a Lifetime".
My "Ride of a Lifetime" was a cruse abord the USS Antedium when I was a kid. Visited everywhere from the brig to the Captains quarters.

The "news media" has ceased being the watch dog of the people and has become the apologist for an irresponsible government.
Wow! Not many get to do that...

Normally you have a chase ar to let the pilot know he's up cleanly and that the pogo's (the little wheels on the outboard side of the wings) have dropped. You don't want to go 60,000 plus with little wheels hangin down.

I'm not a U2 pilot, but I've flown with a few guys who have flown 'em. I've never asked specifically, but I'm pretty sure it's to help the pilot judge height on landing. From what I'm told, it's tough to see just how high above touchdown you are in the Dragonlady. Another pilot uses a radio while he's screaming down the runway in a car to give the other dude accurate data on touchdown.

or what he said.

And yes, you are correct on landing. the pilot can't see the ground when they get close so the chase car calls out altitude.
In the late 89's they used El Camino's. In the 90's, they used mustangs. The speed wasn't really needed but since it was a pilot who drove in the car, well, we all know how they can be.
