Lightning

6,221 Apehorse19  8.3 years ago

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. -source: wikipedia This plane took me ages to make and I'm guessing no one will even notice it. Its okay though. Thanks for all of your support recently. 1K, whoop-whoop! I know I'm a n00b. Check out SPCWorkshops, OldColonel, TrashFam and Tiseth for really cool planes. If this looks like a real plane model please, please specify in the comments. Leave an upvote if you like my plane, don't if you don't t like it. Thank you and have fun. The new view is a chase view that is different to the original chase e view, you'll probrably have to not move the camera for a better experience. Also, lift up all the time whilst on the floor for take-off. Thank you all
