He's a lucky man. Shame he couldn't "supercruise" in a EE Lightning 50 years ago.

RLN:

Did you know that the first Lightning, P-38, was
named by YOU guys when the RAF got their hands
on them? Lockheed had some other nickname in
mind, but the Limey one STUCK!

F-35 REALLY otta be Lightning III, no?

I guess so, but there will only ever be the one as far as I'm concerned.

You know, RLN?

I agree with you........

But I thought it might make you feel a little
better knowing that the NAME is a Brit
concoction. Plus, the F-35 being named that
is, well, kind of a Compliment!

This morning I got to watch the F22 / F23 Test pilot documentary on Discovery. Fantastic story and I didn't realise that one of the F23 test pilots then went on to be part of the F22 test program.
