U-2

I saw the movie “Thirteen Days” a little over a week ago and it got me more interested in the U-2. The U-2 is really an impressive piece of machinery. I have read about the new U-2S and it is supposed to have a turbofan engine of the same type as used in the B-2. I think it is the F118 or something like that. Does anyone know how much thrust it can produce. I have seen 18,300 lb. and 19,000 lb. I am not sure which is correct. Also, what would be it max range, top speed, and climb rate figures. Does the airframe have G-Limits? If anyone has this info, please post it as well as any interesting comments about the plane. (not the movie)

P.S. It is nice to be back. My computer moniter went out and I haven’t been able to use my computer until now, because the new moniter just arrived.
