So, the Air Force calls the U-2 the most difficult plane to land, and only its best pilots are certified to fly it, about 17 a year. After a nine or ten-hour mission, they basically land using Spider Sense and guidance from another pilot driving a v8 140 MPH: https://jalopnik.com/5537629/the-140...e-us-air-force

It is an awesome read and everyone comments the videos are even better!
