The Grob G-520 Strato (Egret), was originally intended as a cheap alternative to the U-2. Of the six built, one flies for Australia, while four remain in service in the US, utilized by agencies like the CIA and DEA as platforms for ELINT and high-altitude radio relay, as well as atmospheric sciences.
