U.S. AV-8B Marines Harrier Startup, takeoff, landing upstate New York

[@count69]

I read somewhere about Harriers on a carrier and the person writing said the Harrier hovering next to the carrier over the sea was the loudest thing he'd ever experienced!

[@mikehunt2822]

love the sound of the harrier... they are damn near deafening up close..... but always love that scream

[@NeglectedField]

Can confirm. My mother took me to Farnborough air show when I was a kid (we live locally so most of the time we can see most stuff from our window anyway) and bought two ice creams, forcing me to hold them while this Harrier was blasting away hovering there. Surprised I didn't have long term damage.

[@IS-L]

Try living with them in RAF Germany. We deployed within the hour and spent days camping in the field.

[@geekspace7194]

my favourite plane good information about this is given by you thanks.

[@SamEEE12]

RULE BRITANNIA. wait.... ;_; At least someone is still flying these beauties.

[@thatdeliveryguy8975]

I know 😫

[@hydguy]

Not much longer.. there are only 2 squadrons left in the Corps. 231 (in the video) and 223. Spain and India are still flying them.

[@thatdeliveryguy8975]

Such a lovely British design shame we don't fly em anymore

[@heathermetz3974]

Nice sound!

[@clockman47]

Glad to see you back

[@jaypayne2461]

I worked on DECM for this Squadron during Desert Storm

[@seeker1432]

Those landings where so smooth. Great plane and being Brritish ofcause i like them. I read that this generation of Harrier was joint build by US and Britain. No wonder why there pilots like them. All that experiance rolled into one. The F35 must be an amazing plane with all that knowledge from both countrys into its desighn. Amazing pilots in those.

[@tonywatkins6139]

Beautiful birds, great video! It's a shame they closed Griffiss AFB. these 2 Marine harriers should be visiting the t-line at a still active Griffiss AFB filled with B-52s and KC-135s.

[@geekchaser]

AV8B F402-RR-40X(X) I-Level Mechanic Marines retired. I miss the sound of these birds. When deployed, I would fall asleep to their whiny engine sounds. When stateside, the same.. I miss it horribly.

[@nickmagee-brown739]

geekchaser truly a great, all american, machine. Just shows the quality of the aircraft our great nation makes.

[@justarandomf-4gphantom170]

@@nickmagee-brown739 you do know the Harrier was originally British....right? Hell, the AV-8B was really a British Sea Harrier with better performance that just so happened to be built stateside.

[@TheRealBleach]

@@nickmagee-brown739 Its British

[@muppetrowlf1473]

Originally British. Vastly improved by McDonnell Douglas, including F/A-18 like avionics so i believe. Back in the day in Blighty, the SHAR FA2 version ( Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy ). Used to routinely "kill" F-15C, from Spangdahlem in Germany, over the Bristol Channel during trainig excercises. And then go to the USA at Red Flag and do it again. Remarkable aeroplane.

[@TheRealBleach]

@@muppetrowlf1473 Yeah I guess because the Harrier exited British service in 2011 (there were only a little amount of jets actually left) and is exiting full service this year, the Americans have massive fleet of them and are retiring them in 2025 so they ought to keep it up to date. I believe the Harriers in the UK were also updated with new BAE systems prior to selling most of them

[@CopperCityPatriot]

AWESOME! Saaw five AV-8B Leathernecks at Griffiss last night. Must be advanced flight training, or coming from overseas, or doing some joint close-air-support training with Fort Drum. Excellent video.

[@WakeMarine]

Thank you 231. Remember Raible. Remember Atwell. Remember Bastion. Semper Fi.

[@flybobbie1449]

America as so much good quality infrastructure. We had RAF Harriers land at our field here in the UK back in the 90's. They wiped out two of our runways. At least one runway got resurfaced from the MOD payout.

[@jurgenblick5491]

The perfect design

[@deemdoubleu]

Greetings from the UK

[@hydguy]

My old squadron.. miss working on them

[@sigfredosinmas1554]

Particularmente, el harrier es uno de mis aviones preferidos...

[@jurgenblick5491]

Love that bird

[@patriotamerican62]

Cool plane

[@jaspurr6173]

The usual year? Day? Month?

[@clivedavies7984]

Amazing aircraft

[@Angry.General1461]

I was hoping they would do a vertical takeoff or Landing.

[@gloriaparada3887]

Unos cuantos de estos para la Marina Chilena!!!

[@xvxfoxtrotonexvx6224]

This is a old video but I just had four harries land at griffiss international airport

[@thirdyiii9649]

WHAT TYPE OF HARRIER is it?

[@Tigermoto]

It's a McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier ii plus

[@limpahkanlah]

🙏bagud pesawat terbang jet nya bisa ngeluarkan asap yang berwarna kayak karnaval merayakan ulang tahun apa Akhir tahun bagus dilihat nya

[@Dadang-ys8me]

I must buy it

[@kb3mpx]

Were the two harriers started using a start cart or were started using the on board apu ?

[@brushybillroberts4204]

APU, that's it...

[@Supernautx]

good day

[@travistaylor7939]

People think for some reason that these are phased out. But no, they still use them to this day. At least they did up until 2019 when I got out. They're not as common but they're still in service. They're just so fat and cantankerous.😆

[@brushybillroberts4204]

Where were you stationed. Me, VMA-513, MCAS Yuma Az. "Flying Nightmares", '79-'87. Sure do miss 'em too...513 was de-commisioned shortly after I got out...sad.😅

[@guycroft318]

do the US Marine Corps still fly them?

[@Mike-uk2ut]

Yes, my dad used to be a pilot for one of those.

[@diygarygaming]

Yes, they are still in service until they get phased out by the F-35 in the next decade.

[@leepageuk]

Yeah !! Best British fighter ever, not American !!

[@lisabertolucci5908]

Not German or Australian either. So ?

[@barracuda7018]

British figher redesigned and vastly improved by Americans and sold back to Brits !!!! who were extremely impressed by American input ..
