I think Corvettes were used for some sort of on-runway operations involving planes and whatnot - maybe as a chase vehicle for some planes with landing-gear issues, or something like that.. I can't remember the details, but I do remember that there are Corvettes at some American bases for things like this.
- arethuza 12y agoGood point - I believe U2 pilots need to be talked down the last few feet by someone in a chase car: http://jalopnik.com/5537629/the-140-mph-chase-cars-of-the-us-air-force http://jalopnik.com/5537629/the-140-mph-chase-cars-of-the-us... Maybe U2s were operating from RAF bases and they thought it was polite to use US cars?
