My favorite Aircraft. I saw one at MCAS El Toro Airshow in Irvine in 1992. I will not forget how awesome it its.

[@gordmaher8160]

Never seen one. As a Canadian not many around

[@AA-xo9uw]

The Brits abandoned work on the Harrier II from 1975 - 1981 due to lack of money. They returned after McDonnell Douglas had completed the overwhelming majority of the redesign and political forces had changed in the UK.

[@Adrian-jk4kx]

1982 Falklands War UK was already using the Sea Harrier and Harrier fully operational ..in action .. !!??

[@Ezekiel903]

Italy did an upgrade to their Harrier fleet, they are now fully 4 gen. aircraft, stronger engine, new Radar and weapon systems and heavy carry capacity. Australia should have done the same, much cheaper as the F35

This video really understates the incredible British engineering that made this possible. The fundamental technology was decades ahead of anything else.

[@user-e3o7jz1dx]

Britain has always boasted of advanced engineering technology. It was similar to Germany after Hitler invested in engineering.

[@SNoCappidona]

RIP AV-8B. I'll miss that high pitch turbo fan sound when you hear that bird turning up and watching them fly in out of cherry point. They will be adversary trainers for a long time.

[@Rams-ram]

I saw it the first time in my favorite PS2 game Metal Gear Solid 2

[@heavyarms01h]

It also was prominently featured in "Transformers: Bumblebee." One of the movie's two villains, Decepticon Shatter, transformed into a Harrier as well as a muscle car.

Aviators gonna AV-8

[@bsdaldal]

I need one of these...

[@Sophocles13]

@ 2:47 wow, I've always seen the Harrier do vertical takeoffs very slow and carefully. I didn't know they could launch themselves up to hundreds of feet in seconds... Imagine a group of Vtol F-35's launching upwards out of a forest, that would be crazy!

[@allgood6760]

Awesome!👍..we have a GR-3 Harrier in a museum here in NZ 🇳🇿

[@Adrian-jk4kx]

Eh...The British invented this aircraft and it did a fine job in the Falklands 1982.. it was upgraded by Mcdonnel Douglas.....The Martin B57 was also an upgrade of the Canberra Bomber ( another British Aircraft) Also of note is the P51 Mustang..it only became worthy of its name after the insertion of a British designed ( but improved ) Rolls Royce Merlin Engine.

I wonder what would happen if the Pegasus was upgraded to a counter-rotating turbine set up(the Vulcan bomber has counter-rotating turbine engines,) along with a more stealthy configuration?

[@kyler2744]

It is a contra-rotating engine

damn we got a real patriot here XD remember without those British harriers that "sucked" you wouldn't have your av8b and the gr7 could run rings around it in performance and combat effectiveness

[@Mr.mysterious76]

Are you dum*b, obviously the first model of a first of it's kind complex 1960's aircraft can't be as good as improved versions from it's future but it offered a blueprint for the ones that came later

[@AA-xo9uw]

@@Rybo65 Without all of the American taxpayer money funneled into the UK via the MWDP the Pegasus/Kestrel/Harrier never would have made it past the drafting table. Why didn't the Brits ever pay to equip their Harrier IIs with RADAR?

@@AA-xo9uw it didn’t need radar it was a multi role not a designated fighter and the radar would have upset the COG and was unnecessary weight that it would have to vtol with

[@peterstubbs5934]

It didnt "hold its own" against the Arge Mirage and Skyhawks, it OBLITERATED them. It also took on F5`s piloted by American "Aggressor" squadron pilots and obliterated them, it then took on American F15`s and wiped the floor with them as well. See Sharky Wards "Sea Harrier Over The Falklands" book or audiobook.
