ZF593 English Electric Lightning F.53

Britain's premier air-defence fighter from 1959 to 1988. It was also used by the Kuwait Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force.

 

This example was originally operated by the Royal Saudi Air Force but now is on display at Pima Air and Space Museum outside Tucson, Arizona, which is one of the largest, and best, aviation museums in the world. Here is a list of what they have:

As a bonus for aviation enthusiasts, just over the road is the legendary "boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base where literally thousands of military aircraft are stored. This list indicates what they currently have in storage:
