ER-2 Ready to Fly High
One of two NASA ER-2s (civilian U2-Rs) being backed out of the hangar at Building 703 in Palmdale. Capable of long duration flights at very high altitudes, the ER-2s have wing pods to accommodate science experiments and sensors, as well as a large volume bay behind the pilot. NASA first flew a U-2 for science—a first generation aircraft—in 1972.
