English electric Lightning, looks weird af in person because it has twin engines stacked on top of each other...

Sort of. Pilot sits above the lower intake with the upper engine further back. A sort of staggered stack.

dissing the lightning is fighting talk, one of the fastest planes ever to enter service, it could go supersonic while going vertical
