This was true or more like fxck this goes !
Not true the tyres would last longer , depending on how you dumped it on the runway!
Usually they lasted 10+ landings , they were at 200psi and could not be remoulded like other aircraft tyres
Yes true but fuel was the always the issue unless you tanked midair.The U2 was intercepted at circa 85,000ft
This is prevent the ingress of FOD ( Foreign object damage) and prevent birds from nesting ...true.
This is an early F1a Lightning
