This is a normal post Lightnings and F-15s are quite similar in terms of performance so I hear
Mike Hale has flown both and makes some interesting comparisons. The Lightning was actually very agile too.

My old chap designed bits of Lightnings, Victors, Buccaneers and stuff. He's got a lot of Lightning related stories.

This is a normal post As I understand it
They were pretty matched in agility, speed and time-to-height, but the F15 had far greater endurance and a better payload.
