Just Flight - Aerosoft - English Electric Lightning F.3

The English Electric Lightning was designed in the late 1950s as an interceptor. This class of aircraft had to have great speed and even better climb speed to intercept Russian bombers before they could reach their targets. The Lightning is certainly fast and was in fact the first aircraft that could 'supercruise', meaning that it could fly at supersonic speeds without the use of afterburner.

The F.3 version in this add-on is not an easy aircraft to fly - it’s complex and full of systems you have to manage without the aid of modern electronics. Landing especially is hard as the landing speed is awfully high and there are many things you have to check.
