Default Wikipedia:Yaw string

More surprisingly to me is the information that...

Yaw strings are also fitted to the
Lockheed U-2 high-altitude surveillance
aircraft http://www.barryschiff.com/high_flight.htm

.... but given how close U2s are to falling out the sky
at altitude (the coffin corner), perhaps it isn't too
surprising.
