Boiling Point

A U.S. Air Force U-2S Dragon Lady pilot assigned to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing goes through his pre-flight routine prior to being transported to the flight line to conduct a routine sortie at Beale Air Force Base, California, June 15, 2016. Due to the high operating altitude and the cockpit's partial pressurization, equivalent to 28,000 feet pressure altitude, the pilot wears a full pressure suit that delivers the pilot's oxygen supply and provides emergency protection in case cabin pressure is lost.
