That's 2 beautiful rainbows, 1 lovely KC10, and 3 plug ugly Lightning II's

How could that airframe ever be compared to an F2A

Thanks for posting

Well you could say how can you compare a Lightning F.2A to a P-38 Lightning? one is not being compared, or likened, to the other just because they share the same name! Yes two totally different types, for totally different roles, and a good 60 years apart! I mean really come on now!

Rainbows and unicorns. Yes F-35s really do exist

[deerhunter]

I thought Plug was the handsome one in the Bash St

[paddyboy]

Sorry, 'rva65'

The 'P38' was gorgeous, a real Cadillac of fighters
The EE Lightning was GORGEOUS
The F35 is just...... 'nuff said

My wife says she`s a luddite too but I know better than to ignore a luddites opinion , you`re correct as usual paddyboy

Great photograph, but I'm so glad that you've expressed what I've been thinking for some time now, the F-35 is one of the ugliest aircraft I've ever seen! I'm not even convinced that it will perform that well in combat, but let's all hope that it'll never have to prove that to us.
