Those were very potent aircraft, basically two engines one over the other, limited fuel, rocket armaments, later versions had a cannon pack under the nose, and a pilot.
At one time they held the world record for a climb to 30,000 feet. They were based locally and used to escort Russian Bear bombers away from our East Coast. I seem to remember they took five minutes from the end of the runway to the Bear's wingtip out over the North Sea.
The Royal Air Force had a display team equipped with Lightnings that flew at air shows, The Black Arrows, I was at a show, one day when they were doing a formation landing and the lead aircraft had a tyre blow out. The other aircraft in the squadron aborted by standing on their tails and going straight up under full afterburn. The sight and the noise was amazing.
