    U2 Chase vehicles

    I was watching a James May programme about the flights to the moon.

    In one segment, the U2 aircraft have chase cars for take-off and landing.

    And the car of choice by the USAF? No, not Land Rovers but Holden Monaros.

    OK, Pontiac GTOs.

    The blue one was a GTO. Note it's a 2-door.

    Not doubting that
    Interesting they are still running any of these as Pontiac went under in the Gm reshape . They killed the brand off at the end of 2010 .
    They are a old car in terms of a Government fleet

    Maybe it's an older photo, or it's because the Govt is in so much debt they can't replace them.....
