well worth watching, i know a 747 from a 767 but what was this plane. all i can think of is the old u-2 spy plane. can any one explain the landing as there is no sign of the wing landing gear untill we see the plane parked.

Looks like it's out of a Top Gear programme featuring presenter James May.

I believe this is the training version of the U-2. I'm not certain of the official model designation.
