Default Family Reunion - the Lightening family

Here I am with the Lightening family (Grandpa P-38 and the new guy F-35). A
friend is taking my picture with my "real" camera and I'm holding my old
back-up Digital Rebel. It was a fine reunion even though we didn't get to
see either aircraft fly that day.

Please. "Lightning", not "Lightening".

You should be okay - lightening hardly ever strikes twice in the same
place...

It's a clever name, because on our side of the Pond we can claim that it's
named after the English Electric Lightning. So everybody's happy... quite
unusual.

But, wasn't your British Lightning named after our first USA Lightning?

Nah, the English Electric Lightning was named after the bolt from
the sky because it was almost as fast and had a similar endurance.

Never heard of the P-38? I think Lockheed got there first.

Yes I have. And clearly they did.
It's just... oh, why bother...
