Two branches of the newly named Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins AFB, Georgia, are working together to fully repair a damaged U-2S Dragon Lady high altitude reconnaissance aircraft to return it to service. The Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Division, which manages the U-2 program, is partnering with the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex to explore options for in-house repair of a U-2 that was damaged in 2008. The aircraft was transported by truck to Robins and arrived on 24 August 2012. This aircraft was the last U-2 to come off the then-Lockheed assembly line in the early 1980s. Approximately fifty of the larger U-2Rs were built and later converted to the U-2S configuration.
