Journalist and co-host of Top Gear James Mays becomes one of the luckiest people on earth in this video, as he is taken up for a ride to 70,000 feet, in a U2. I love his dialogue.
To be honest, I had a lump in my throat near the end of the video.

This was particularly interesting for me because my flight instructor in Orlando was an ex-U2 pilot in the USAF… he told us many stories of his time as a pilot on this bird and some of his experiences. After I completed the course, I looked for some good U2 videos (only because he got me so interested) and by far, this one seems to have put me in “awww” the most!

James may, is by far one of the best presenters on the BBC, he was also one of the first person to drive to the north pole, in a car.
