Jet flights

Equipped with terrain-hugging radar, this low level attack jet performs at its peak when it’s flying low and fast. And it’s perhaps superior to supersonic aircraft because it can carry more ordnance, fly further and make its attack with equal precision - and probably at lower altitude.

The Lightning is known for its vertical climb performance and it still holds a number of world climb-to-altitude records. It is capable of Mach 2.2 (1500 m.p.h.) and an initial climb rate of 50,000 feet per minute.

The versatile Hawker Hunter jet was originally designed as a superior air fighter, which, due to its versatility, was easily adapted for air-to-ground attack and reconnaissance roles. It was the first swept wing, indigenous British built fighter, with the first prototypes taking to the air in 1951 -
