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.

With the latest version comes a new model of the Lightning F2A, and the F53 model is also included. All F6 customers receive these models for free.

The F.6 version in this product 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. Aircraft of this type are rare for Flight Simulator and we feel the Lightning fills a niche that needed filling.
