This plane is officially called the Lockheed U-2, but it’s got a way cooler nickname, “Dragon Lady.” The Dragon Lady has been doing top-secret missions for a very long time, even during the Cold War. It used to fly way up high over places like China, Cuba, and the Soviet Union, taking pictures and finding out important stuff from the sky.
It’s like a super spy plane. So, even though it has a regular name, “Dragon Lady” sounds much more exciting, like a character from a spy movie, and this plane has been involved in some of the most secretive missions in history. It’s obviously the James Bond of airplanes. But name it lady!
