Toward the Unknown: 5th RS provides highest eye in the sky
Maj. David (last name withheld due to operational security constraints), 5th Reconnaissance Squadron U-2 Dragon Lady pilot, acts as a mobile officer and speaks to Maj. Ricardo (last name withheld due to operational security constraints), 5th RS director of operations and U-2 pilot, after Ricardo lands at the end of his mission at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, March 8, 2014. Mobile officers, or mobiles, are other U-2 pilots that act as the “eyes” of the pilot in a “chase car” that follows behind the aircraft while it taxis, takes off, and lands to feed pertinent information directly to the pilot.
