I remember years ago seeing a photo of a P-38 with an F-117. The (intentionally sarcastic) caption said something like, "Lockheed recently unveiled to the public this unusually configured, twin engine fighter, with a unique shrouded exhaust system, and capable of carrying two 1,000lb bombs."

I wonder if they could get all three lightnings together some time or are they afraid that the English Electric Lightning would up stage the other two? :D

OK, it was never called Lightning, or anything related to speed, but....

There were pro photographers there, who took much better shots, but this is the best I can do...
