I thought the purpose of a fighter was to KILL other Aircraft. Is there a suggestion here that the Lighting could, in a one-on-one or ten-on-ten air battle be victorius over the F -15? If so why are they no longer in service? Just curious, how many countries flew the lightning? Perhaps you meant to say it had some aspects of its performance that matched or beat that of a typical F-15 - yes? I mean lets face it, A WWII Sopwith Camel can turn inside of the F 15 too, does that mean it is a better fighter? I love the humor here. sm=lol.gif]
