Saw this beast on Sunday for the first time. It is one hell of an experience to stand a few feet away while it reheats, the noise is incredible. Its disgusting that the Lightning isnt allowed to fly
-
@ToonandBBfan Maybe that's why they won't let her fly. They would probably be embarrassed to see that the Lightning can out perform all modern fighter aircraft in sheer acceleration and top speed.
-
The fastest and the greatest interceptor ever made, and it has to stay on the deck. What a travesty!
-
No aircraft deserved its name more than the Lightning
Its disgraceful that Britain cannot have the privilege of seeing this fine airplane fly again.
I assume the little Hitlers at the CAA think the Lightning has a little too much accelaration for a civilian to fly?
If thats the case would they allow an Ex-RAF pilot to fly her?
I'd love to see a Lightning outclimb the Eurofighter

@stubbostubbs Well he can always claim altsheimers. Or, say he is a muslim and claim he`s being harrassed!
-
@stubbostubbs Problem is he'd probably end up in prison if he did that.
-
Is there not a Lightning pilot out there who`s coming to the end of his reign as a flyer and doesnt give a fk about losing his licence, who is willing to shove the levers fully forward. take off and say so what you wankers, I was gonna retire anyway!! I WOULD, but sadly, Ive only got my HGV1 !!! MY, WHAT A VIDEO THAT WOULD BE. You`d never buy a pint again !
-
@excarman, it cannot fly here in the UK, the Civil aviation authority(CAA) or Campaign against aviation as i like to call it, deem the lightning too dangerous to be flown by civilians, hopefully US authorities will be more understanding.
-
@bigchiefmingingbolok why is the U.S not allowing your organization to fly this magnificent aircraft to fly I would've loved to have gone up for a flight in it
-
@excarman ,there is one being restored to flight in the US by the Anglo-American Lightning organisation, i became a member 5 years ago and send donations when possible, hopefully the powers that be in the US will allow her to fly again, because i doubt that a lightning will ever fly in this country again

What a travesty to preserve such a magnificent aircraft and not allow her to fly because some little jumped up little twat in the CAA says so. This nation used to be great, sadly we have now accepted our fate at the hands of facist dictators.

Actually more like bleeting Liberal Apologisers , & the namby pampy PC Brigade, have fucked this country up .... But it all started in the 60's, when the Governments then, mostly Labour, managed to wreck the UK Aircraft Industry!
