Air Force never retired the U2s, just kept replacing them with updated
versions. Frankly, they ain't got anything to do the job. They retired the
all the SR71s. The AF's hope is that the next generation of drones might be
able to replace the U2s, but who knows. Anything can happen, but don't hold
your breath.
