Sidetrack Lightning II, Royal Navy

Nope its just a coincidence, or rather the AEM was assigned to that aircraft because of his name.

This should help clarify the FAA aircraft numbering, and shows their is method to their madness   

Nice build by the way looks much nicer than the X-32 shown fitted with them in the Flight artwork 
You probably should have really dropped the Omega due to what it stands for as the final Squadron however.

Thanks guys --

Geoff, do you have a pic of that X-32, I've done a search but nothing comes up.

The two AEM's I'm thinking now was probably as you say, they got assigned to that particular Harrier.

Now that's interesting Geoff, thanks for the link.

I picked up an X-32 not long ago, putting pods on the wing tips doesn't help that butt-ugly aircraft any -----
