I was perusing U-2 videos on youtube the other day and ran across this . . .

That guy owes me money! Actually, he's much better looking in person.
That was my last flight in the U-2 for a while. I had a lot of hip pain -- you can see when I jump off the stand after I landed. I was dreading that jump, knowing it wouldn't tickle. The flight docs grounded me, and 4 weeks later, I got an artificial hip. Small price to pay to keep flying The Lady.

Small price indeed, once in a lifetime opportunity to fly a plane with so much history like the U-2.
Didn't mean to bust your cover too much, though judging from the responses to this thread, it looks like no one noticed anyway. Hope that hips in good shape and you can stay in the cockpit a while longer.
