[@AuroraDigitalArts]

I had originally thought that I would watch one episode here and there when I had time. As it turned out I watched the whole series (to date) in one sitting. A first-class production and I want to thank you and your team for undertaking the preservation of this remarkable "flying machine". A commendable mission.

Curious Fan:“Is that privately owned?” Owner’s wife:” Yes it’s my plane”

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

Spoken like a true wife

[@chrisberry3048]

Yep, she was a bit snarky wasnt she

[@Spyderz-xo9rz]

I said the same thing...We know who is bank rolling all this.Not him I am pretty sure.Her dad owed an airport.... He also said "without the complete support of my wife this would not happen." Translation-If she did not wanna shell out the cash he would only be flying his arm chair in the living room.

[@ryangrider9607]

Chris Villapas as the “owner’s wife” she is indeed the owner as much as he is. So when she said “yes, that’s my plane” she meant it!

[@chestercallahan8856]

Can't get enough of this beautiful aircraft!

[@rosellaaalm-ahearn1760]

What a beautiful airplane! When my husband, from England, first told me about the Harrier, it sounded like Science Fiction. I'm so glad you rescued her. One day I hope to see her at an airshow. Have you given her a name? I hope so. My brother-in-law was a pilot over Romania in World War II Flying a B-29 and destroying dams and coal mines. After the War he taught flying. His name was Captain Donald Brant. Don would have loved it!

[@benfudge7235]

I'm happy he kept the British Royal Navy flag on the tail.

[@workman88]

As a yankee as you would put it, I agree.

To Art and his crew wonderful to see this Harrier being flown . An amazing piece of aviation history . As a brit makes me proud to see this little bit of british aviation design still in the skys . Long may it last . Maybe Art can get his harrier over the pond sometime for several airshows in the uk .

[@Aeronaut1975]

Why not just ask the Italian or Spanish Navy? they're a bit closer, and both still operate the Harrier.

[@tedwaller6805]

You are a lucky man, and thoroughly deserve every bit of it. Thank you for saving the Harriers and sharing the experience.

[@amramjose]

It was thrilling to see our AV8A's do their vertical thing; I worked in a 2nd MAW training squadron in the 70's, we had TA4Js and AV8As. I had the "honor" of towing these things in and out of the hangar all night long...

[@nihonkokusai]

''Is that privately owned? Yes that's my plane'' with full confidence, that's some serious mental strength.

[@aibpresto]

This year at RIAT the Spanish brought two Harriers and they were absolutely incredible. They were by far my favourite display at the whole airshow. They're also a lot louder than you'd expect, probably on par with an F-16, if not louder.

[@mannys4539]

Gosh VTOL's are so amazing!!!!!! Your living a dream come true!!!! I wish to learn so much more about these amazing machines, but yup that whole "barrier to entry" thing... Still I don't care!!!! These beautiful machines deserve so much more then a one paragraph part in the history books!!!!!

[@powerjets3512]

This is a Sea Harrier, faster and more maneuverable than the American ground support AV8-B Harrier. From what I know it comes without fancy hover electronics found in the AV8-B. It thus demands more of the pilot. Loved to see it! Please keep it flying.

[@barrycoomer8137]

Absolutely superb Sir. Keep up the good work - and the videos ! Thank you for your hard work - it’s really appreciated

Great that this gentleman has kept a little bit of British aviation flying The Harrier is a little bit special to many of us who love aviation in the uk . For many the harrier was retired to early . One things for seeing this particular aircraft being put through its paces is joy to behold . Long may it last.

[@Dickard667]

I was at this Sun and fun, oh man I've seen this guy in action! I keep looking for myself whenever the camera pans to the crowd.

[@Tracertme]

Art your a true Gent, with fire and soul in every vain of your body and the whole team you have assembled is fantastic, it's nice to see you give a small opportunity to a youngster and bringing on other pilot's is, as you say, important because in truth, you are all just the custodian of a beautiful aircraft , it's important to keep these birds going so others can appreciate the engineering. Look how few Spitfires are left in the world because nobody took notice... but you did.... I am so pleased the opportunity and determination came to you, there is no one more appropriate. I look forward to watching the rest of this series putting down the history of time for another generation in 100 years from now... well done sir...

[@sportsworth]

Hi Art. Enjoying the videos! On one of the videos I see you using a hover pit. Is that always preferred if available? I have also seen video on F35 where low altitude hover was an issue without a pit.

[@artnallsjr.3752]

We don't need the pit. But that was all that was available for the emergency landing on the second flight.

[@TheAcceleratorMagazine]

.........ain't never been a pilot of any kind but brought tears to my eyes at the hover for some reason. I'm 64, 65 if make it to end of May 2019. Been inserted by military from many countries by both choppers and planes and many times in hostile areas you never hear about. Volunteered during last draft in '71 or '72 to fly helios in Vietnam but every branch told me the same thing, "sorry son, you wear glasses". I had a Merit Scholarship and had even won a military scholarship so told em I didn't want to work on em so went on to college. Shuda, cuda, wusa. Who knows. Wound up in LE then military contractor. BA Pilot livin my dream even if it is fixed wing. Guess that why the hover got to me. Iv kinda filled my need for speed with fast cars and bikes, been over 180 in Corvette, but ain't the same. Some pilots have let me semi fly over the years but that don't really count. Glad these folks could save the Harrier. Iv survived a lot of things, cancer x 3, shattered pelvis and 20 other breaks and just had surgery #30, spinal fusion. Still in shape for few more missions hopefully but got bad feeling. But how many of us have the life we thot we would? I'm not complaining, didn't deserve the miracles iv had, but when you get this age with my medical history you can't even work for free. Been personal protection for many diplomats, musicians and actors but they seldom remember the hired help. Well, Hank Jr might. He dont 4get hardly anybody, but all my connections are gone. Il die like iv lived, in the shadows. No military fly over, no star at.......it don't matter. Wasn't why I signed up. Be a good movie or book tho. Keep em flying. Pray for our country. L8r.
