Description
U-2 Dragon Ladies #3. LESS THAN 15 SETS LEFT! Seven colorful and important Dragon Ladies are covered in this set. The first three all feature the USAF Pave Onyx jets in the “Sabre Scheme” of light and dark gray used on U-2s based in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s because of British leftist complaints about “black jets” based in England. All were assigned to the 100 SRW, with tail numbers 56-6692, -6700, and -6716. The CIA U-2A N803X wore an overall sea blue scheme during this perod, as did N800X, both of which can be modeled from this set. The sixth jet was an overall black U-2F assigned to the 4080th SRW at Laughlin AFB but assigned to combat duty in Vietnam. The final bird is U-2C, NASA 708, in the scheme she wore in August 1980.
