The Lightning was the last all-British interceptor and had performance that has rarely been bettered, although this did come at the expense of combat endurance and range. Thanks to @PlanesOfOld for the idea plus @WalrusAircraft for the engines and landing gear and @SpiritusRaptor for the missiles!

    @Spikerya strongly agreed, though I have simpleplanes windows and on 2 andriod/cyanogen devies (my Galaxy S3 and my HP Touchpad) so i can basically use any design i want in any mode any time... other people might not be as lucky

    @Legomore and I've flown this jet on many an occasion because I think its my favorite jet that I've built so far besides my Hawker Hunter and I might make a new Hawker Hunter soon

    @Legomore whenever I've fired the missiles that's never happened to me I even fired them while turning and they didn't hit the wings...

    It flies extremely well, though sometimes if you launch the missiles the missiles end up hitting the wings...
