Luke Metcalf flying this in true scale style. Lightning by name and he flies it like Lightning. I had trouble keeping up. Full after burners and tight turns. TERRIFIC !

Beautifully detailed aircraft by the looks of it.  That was scary to watch though - it's a guided missile!

I love watching these that look scale.
