This isn't quite a warbird but is still pretty cool. If there's a better spot to post this in, please do so MOD's.
It was sent to me by my great uncle the old bomber pilot.

This is the one made by BBC of James May, the host of BBC's "Top Gear", getting a ride in a U-2.

Why say this isn't a warbird? This a/c type probably has more combat exposure everywhere from USSR, China, Vietnam, N. Korea, mid East ... everywhere one needs accurate recon...

When I think "Warbird", to me it means 'retired from military service.' And active duty videos are pretty cool too.
