I have had AE0960 80-185 this morning.

It is reported as a U2 and at 60000, so I don't immediately discount that altitude as particularly unlikely.

Thank you for that but I'm not sure flight level 60000 is correct?

Hi

All previous U2's i have logged have either started at 60000ft and then descended or climbed to 60000ft in a very short time.

There are 2 U-2's reported as going into Fairford, Dragon 51, AE0960, 80-1085 came across the Atlantic and down over Scotland and the other Dragon 21 is going the other way is on its way back home and is due to depart tomorrow.

FL600 is normal for them and they can go alot higher, FL700, if needed.
