Subject: U-2    Story   

I remember    hearing this transmission on the radio as a very young pilot flying into    Beale: 

   



Pogo    22; "Oakland Center Pogo 22 020 degrees 60 DME with Charlie (ATIS),    requesting    FL850."

Oakland    Center;    "Pogo 22 if you can get there it is all yours. Altimeter    30.02"



Pogo    22; "Roger Pogo 22    descending to FL850,    30.02."

U-2's cannot and never will reach FL850. SR-71 might.

 Buddy would I have like  to been in your flight suit!  Even if the U-2 couldn't get to  FL850. 

  

 The highest I  ever had the 747 is 43,000.  Surprising how quite it  got.

They don't need to talk to center until they get down to FL600. I

suspect that was supposed to read "requesting 550."

Jim,

 I had the 747SP to fl 450 and it was a pig. It wallowed around so bad  I

 had to take it back down to fl 410 so the passengers wouldn't puke.It  was too short coupled for any kind of chop at that altitude.
