Lightning Mate,
that doesn't appear to be a full pressure suit you are wearing - just the helmet?
What altitude was that kit rated to - I assume a dash up to FL65?
But then how come you don't need a full pressure suit-that's right on the Armstrong limit.
I assume you've zoomed up there, might be at that height long enough to take a shot then descend?
I've read the stories about Lightnings bouncing U2s on the way down by the way...
