Took the opportunity to photograph the returning U-2S's Black01 and Black02 on Friday evening in some great light.

First back was Black02 80-1066 'BB' U-2S

Then as the sun was moving round Black01 80-1083 U-2S complete with chalk markings:

Did you get anything of the second jet?

Typo on the call sign corrected, Black01 landed second after a 10 hour mission.
