It's a clever name, because on our side of the Pond we can claim that it's
named after the English Electric Lightning. So everybody's happy... quite
unusual.

Never heard of the P-38? I think Lockheed got there first.

Here I am with the Lightening family (Grandpa P-38 and the new guy F-35).
A friend is taking my picture with my "real" camera and I'm holding my old
back-up Digital Rebel. It was a fine reunion even though we didn't get to
see either aircraft fly that day.
