Base 444 is a top secret base used for the development of "unmanned" spacecraft. The test vehicle "Sleigh 2" launched on its first test flight only moments ago. Unfortunately, there was a design flaw and base operations lost contact with the craft almost immediately after takeoff. A small flame could be seen on one of the booster rockets after the craft launched; this is thought to be directly involved with the accident. The booster rockets were jettisoned 10nm away from Base 444. These rockets were designed to propel the craft into the upper atmosphere before being jettisoned into the Atlantic Ocean. The jettisoned booster rockets have been recovered. The craft however, has not. You are a part of a specially selected team that works specifically with the operations at Base 444. The craft's tracking devices have failed and it's unclear where the craft may have landed or crashed. But that much is guaranteed; radar contact was to be made from Edwards AFB once Sleigh 2 was 50nm away from Base 444 - this never took place. Sleigh 2 is somewhere on the ground within 50nm from Base 444 in an unknown direction. The faulty booster rocket may have thrown off the projected heading of the craft. It's up to you to locate the craft at its crash site. Join the FSX Military Aviation Organization to post pictures of your mission and to fly online with other members at www.fsxmao.com

Lockheed U2 S Senior Span/ASARS variant. Optimised for FS2002. Full animation of flaps ailerons rudder and elevator, landing gear, spoilers and airbrakes, rolling wheels, full lighting (including the double fueslage top beacon lighting of the Senior Span variant) taking advantage of FS2002, Pilot and Instructor in full pressure suits. Pogos vanish independantly of the undercarriage before take off but do not support the aircraft in ground operation (this is due to myself wanting a realistic landing without the Pogos providing support as per real life), however the undercarriage track has been widened so that taxiing is possible.
