Okay, clearly not a U2, but the overhead shot reminds me of one in a way...
Anyone have a clue of what type this is? Spotted at Van Nuys, CA airport:

Looks like one of them there power gliders which is what a U2 is.

It's one of the (Austrian?) Grob G520s. It was at last year's Farnborough display.
