English Electric Lightning Released


Recommended Posts

  • Aerosoft
The very first aircraft that could supercruise (fly supersonic without using after-burners) was the
English Electric Lightning. This Cold War interceptor, designed to intercept the Russian Badger and Bear bombers and filled with state of the art technology of the early 1960’s, protected NATO skies for two decades. It’s fast, it climbs like a bat out of hell and needs a serious pilot. If you like your aircraft complex this is one you should not miss!
