Dragon Lady

"Patches on flight suits provide a motto: ``In God We Trust - All Others We Monitor.'' The U-2's most durable nickname is ``Dragon Lady'' - of uncertain origin, but apparently for the unpredictable villainess from the ``Terry and the Pirates'' comic strip and radio and television shows. "

another angle

"The U-2 is notoriously difficult to pilot, a fact that has earned it the nickname "Dragon Lady"; there are only about 50 pilots qualified to handle the craft, not to mention endure 10 hours in a fully pressurized flight suit. "
