the idle engine hum brings me back to living near a military base that operated many harriers and even though the base was over 3.5 miles away from my house at the time, that hum carried farther than the ear shattering sound of the engine exhaust and was calming at times

[@allgood6760]

Certainly a unique aeroplane👍

One of the coolest aircrafts ever. So unique 💨

[@progx8679]

I still love watching Harriers and I'm used to seeing them everyday when I'm underway on LHD's. This darker grey scheme is much meaner looking I think ! USMC 24th MEU

[@kirbyvanduzer6565]

That was one of the coolest sounding jets love that cool whine it puts out especially when it lands as soon as it touches down the sound of the spool down is awesome I love the American military they rock it must have been fun to fly one of those

[@hermanprodj]

The coolest military jet fighter, horizontal take off n landing.

[@anthonymartinez4462]

Just saw 5 harriers come into Rick Husband International Airport they weren't hot but definitely on the move to train. Also, it seems the military is moving the big helicopter in and out of the local airports which is not unusual I just haven't seen this much activity in awhile.

[@jamesvickery3482]

Harriers are just so Badass!

[@PpAirO5]

As far as i know, the american Harriers are equipped with radar. But the british had no radar, only FLIR and electrooptical cameras. Would that mean that a british Harrier could only attack what was within visual range ?

[@whatotter9094]

It couldn't use BVR missiles like amraam, but it was used almost exclusively for close air support so it didn't matter to much. Certainly less versatile though. The sea harrier fulfilled the air combat capability until it was retired as it had a radar

[@princegroove]

One can’t help but admire the premise it was designed upon. Let’s go! 🇺🇸👊🏻💪🏻

How is it that the Brits don’t like it yet in the US its loved ? I might be getting wrong but that’s how I feel

[@AScottish-AustralianM-84]

The Brits loved the harrier they just replaced it with newer technology as it was getting a bit old

[@truth7080]

Britain loved it. But due to cut backs and future investment of QE class aircraft carrier and F35s, they got canned early. If I remember rightly, USMC bought out the bulk of remaining GR9 Harriers at a discount

[@commander_shadow2444]

Everyone I’ve talked to didn’t want the harrier to come out of service so no we love it but the raf decided not to keep the best of our engineering

[@R_McGeddon117]

@Blob B Wrong The Harrier was designed and built by the Hawker Siddley aircraft company in the UK The first design and trials were carried out in the 1950's using a basic airframe and was nicknamed the Flying Bedstead

[@AA-xo9uw]

@@owenlloyd4382 McDonnell Douglas didn't redesign and build the AV-8B under license. The UK abandoned the project from 1975-1981 rejoining only after the overwhelming majority of the redesign was finished. The Harrier and Harrier II are completely different aircraft.
