Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Saw this in my (very) youth at Farnborough. Eight Lightnings in a staggered take off then going vertical (although the link says six, count them!)...
Link
Support this project if you can, let's get one flying again...

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
I wonder whatever happened to the three flying lightnings (one T5 and two F6) which belonged to Thunder City in SA before it went bust in 2011??
