Lightning II?????

Seems even uncle Sam thought we had pretty cool trucks.

The newest joint strike fighter the F35 has been dubbed the "Lightning II" Far cooler than a hornet or tomcat if you ask me!!!

Named after the P-38 Lightning from WWII.

I wouldn't be surprised the F150 Lightning was named after the fighter also.
After all Ford has had the Mustang and Thunderbolt too.
