History:
The English Electric Lightning is a supersonic fighter aircraft of the Cold War era. It was designed, developed, and manufactured by English Electric, which was subsequently absorbed by the newly formed British Aircraft Corporation. It was then marketed as the BAC Lightning. The Lightning was the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft. The Lightning was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF). Although it was the RAF's primary interceptor for more than two decades it was never required to attack another aircraft.

@SimpleFlow I wonder what they'll add? Maybe he'll integrate some features from his mods.
@F104Deathtrap
Yess! Im so happy they announced that there will be an update
@SimpleFlow The mods certainly make things easier. Didn't Hellfire make finetuner? They just hired him as an intern.
@F104Deathtrap
Wow thatnks alot! That means alot!
I think now that i can fine tune i should update this
Holy cow, I was thinking about building one of these because they're amazing and I haven't seen one on here before, BUT HERE IT IS! And she's beautiful. So that frees me up to go find some other plane in need of attention. Awesome build, I love the paint job! I can't believe you build all this stuff on a touchscreen.
@JCobb
Thanks!
One of my all time favorite planes. Awesome
Not so ELECTRIC. My puns are 🐨 ☕️
It's not a fighter, it's just an interceptor. Used to protect the V bomber bases, as soon as you start along the runway you lose controll, and the plane will rocket along like a runaway train to 10,000 at vertical in less than one minute they used to intercept Russian training missions. Plus, my grandad worked on these for BAC in England and Saudi Arabia, they needed extremely good mechanics to be flight worthy as almost anything can go wrong in one. My grandad is tone deaf thanks to this plane, it's incredibly Loud (I saw a fast taxi run) and they used to do mass startups of 5-10 planes! (no ear protectors!) he said that he was trained to decontaminate the Lightnings of they happened to have been caught in nuclear fallout, no protective suits just a hose some gloves and a facemask. Truly incredible planes
Can you make an EMW A9 on top of a EMW A10 booster rocket?
