I can see the lightning nuts foaming at the mouth already LOL

I like it.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Although the 'Fubar' is basically a Lightning F3 plus some Su-9 stuff, the wing fences were MiG-19 inspired, not only in terms of size and shape but also position.  The missile pylon location was also based upon the MiG-19's.  ;D ;D

It's amazing how "right" those red stars look on a Lightning! I never realized before that the EE Lightning had a Soviet look to it.

This one will definitely cause some excitement!
