What is that? Looks like a EE Lighting, except for the gun port over the air intake, the short fin, the flat belly and the very obvious red stars.

It is a Lightning - a F.2A (which had two 30 mm ADEN cannon in front of the cockpit windscreen) that became a pseudo-MiG-21 Fishbed at the RAF Laarbruch base (West Germany) during the 1980s.

C-5A on the ramp and parked in the F-4 ramp. F-4 pilot lands and starts to taxi, see the Galaxy in his spot. Pilot to tower; what's the C-5 doing in my spot? C-5 has been listening and starts raising his visor (nose), I'm going to eat you all up!!!!!
