Quick U2 Question

If you had read my first link you would have seen this:

As the U2 starts to stop I would put one wing on the ground. Remember the skid plates I told you about on the end of each wing. They are made of titanium so the U2 would not get damaged at this point. Once stopped the ground crew is waiting to put the pogos back on so I can taxi the U2 back to the hanger.

That was from a real life U-2 Pilot who actually landed his aircraft. Notice he says as it starts to stop.

If there was sufficient wing over the runway, then the wings could stay in the air until the pogos were reattached. However the plane was designed to drag one of the skid plates along in the event that the pilot was landing in a low wind situation.
