The photo shows the top of the pilot's helmet inside the U-2 cockpit with the balloon flying below. It was taken February 3 as the balloon 'hovered over the Central Continental United States'. The balloon was downed on February 4 by an F-22 fighter jet firing a AIM-9X Sidewinder missile. The U-2 Dragon Lady is a high altitude US spy plane that has been in service since the 1950s.
