00:05.240 --> 00:08.720
Mhm . Keeping up one of the

00:08.720 --> 00:10.330
pioneers and high altitude

00:10.330 --> 00:12.386
reconnaissance flying can be a tough

00:12.386 --> 00:14.310
task . Airman first class Andrew

00:14.310 --> 00:16.170
Buchanan shows us how a group of

00:16.170 --> 00:18.059
maintenance pros keep the U . Two

00:18.059 --> 00:20.480
Dragon Lady fit to fight . There's a

00:20.480 --> 00:22.702
group of airmen at Beale Air Force Base

00:22.702 --> 00:24.930
in California that without the U . Two

00:24.930 --> 00:27.097
would never take flight to capture the

00:27.097 --> 00:29.208
invaluable images that throughout its

00:29.208 --> 00:31.374
history have kept America safe . The U

00:31.374 --> 00:33.541
two is expected to remain viable until

00:33.541 --> 00:36.090
at least 2040 one thing's for sure that

00:36.090 --> 00:38.350
as long as the U two continues to fly ,

00:38.370 --> 00:40.640
a proud group of maintainers will do

00:40.640 --> 00:42.918
all they can to accomplish the mission .

00:42.930 --> 00:44.986
Actually , it's very exciting for my

00:44.986 --> 00:47.152
maintainers . They really love working

00:47.152 --> 00:49.208
on the Youtube . Uh they do it every

00:49.208 --> 00:48.910
day . So the fact that they're staying

00:48.910 --> 00:51.077
here for another 40 years , 30 years ,

00:51.077 --> 00:53.188
however many years . They love it for

00:53.188 --> 00:55.410
Beale Air Force Base . Sure I will come

00:55.410 --> 00:57.460
back . I'm Airman Andrew Buchanan .
