Amazing how a U-2 dragon lady spy plane (reconnaissance plane) completes it's landing, I'm sure it's not an easy task to complete, as you'll see on the video it only as 2 wheels for it's landing gear, unlike normal planes that have 3 sets of landing gears, so you can imagine it's a challenge to land, especially trying to balance it once it first touches down on the runway.
But before that the pilot has to have the help of a chase car to even get it landed, the pilot wears a space suit because they can fly at 70,000 feet, and is also strapped in to their seat, so looking around to try and see how much distance you are from the ground when coming in to land is no doubt impossible, so they rely on the chase car to help them with the landing, the pilot gets fed information by the chase car occupants regarding how high they are from the ground, until they've landed the aircraft, this is precision driving and piloting by both the car driver and the U-2 pilot.

Some information regarding the U-2:-

I really hope you enjoy the video of the landing.
