Nice indeed! Very dramatic light!

Interesting how different the Lightning looks in the front and side views.

nice pic (looks with PS touch)

BTW, It's not the first time
On Feb 28th, 2008 AA-1 (RIP) posed together with the P-38 in Texas

P-38's a legend.

F-35 well... Hopefully it will have a similar story to the A-10 Smile

I think it would be more appropriate to put it next to an F-105.

There is a reason the P-38 is sitting there... It's called the F-35 "Lightning" for a reason you know.

As far as the F-105 reference, lay off the APA Kool-Aid Wink

Hey, come on. The Thud gets a bad rap. Cool

The thud had more gun kills than anything else in our arsenal, and it was a straight line go fast machine.

The days of the A2A gun kill are almost to an end.

The APA and their acolytes have been pounding the "it's just a Thunderchief II" drumbbeat for years. They refer to it as "the first US single seat single engine bomber designed since the 1960s LTV A-7A-D Corsair II". Their inference being that it is not really a fighter which completely ignores the trend away from dedicated, single-mission aircraft and the development of multi-mission fighters like the F-15/16/18s of today.
