In my opinion, the Harrier is the most remarkable aircraft ever made.

[@TexasIDM]

Yea for me the Harrier and the A-10

[@sebastiaomendonca1477]

The Harrier, the SR-71, the MiG-25, all cold war era engineering masterpieces

[@adiedonoghue1]

EE Lightning ...FACT

[@ryansta]

Too many remarkable aircraft to list really, but the Harrier has it's place in time, and although others tried the concept it stood out alone with it's capabilities.

[@alanjm1234]

Especially remarkable in that there were no flight control computers back then. Pilots did all the flying. The engine nozzles were controlled by cables. It worked, and although many tried, nobody else really managed it.

[@Leehensman]

Flt Lt Haines, absolutely awesome pilot, has buzzed my roof top and rattled my windows on a few occasions, no one knows the Harrier as well as he does.. total respect.

[@gregsmith1070]

I'm never bored of watching the Harrier. Its a masterpiece of design...even now!

[@bertrandviolette9008]

Fantastic flight controls qualities the Harrier has, I’m really impressed! That very good pilot knows well the machine. F-35B will never match that maneuverability. Mosquito and Harrier are two British miracles!

[@koc988]

Well I think we can say we ate our words a bit there?

[@louissanderson719]

The f35 can certainly match it

[@bertrandviolette9008]

[@dannymiester5825]

Absolutely outstanding example of the RAF And the Harrier

[@MrWkdWilly]

Brilliant footage, forgot it could go backwards, what a machine!

[@FlightLevel]

One of the most brilliant displays I've seen.

[@SpeedingTube]

That was great to watch with the pilot commentary. Pulling 6.5g and still talking super chill, ha legend

[@TheIronbark]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I remember going to to the Bicentenary Air Show back home in Australia in 1988 and seeing a Harrier do a similar routine. The bit that stood out the most to me was the Harrier bowing to the crowd at several points along the runway. It was cool to see Flt Lt Haines bow to the crowd also. Thank you for sharing this for those of us who have to live vicariously

[@alanjm1234]

That was a fantastic airshow! The Antanov display on the industry day was incredible.

[@TheIronbark]

@@alanjm1234 I remember being excited to watch the spitfire fly and it ended up going into a ditch and broke the prop lol I was so disappointed!

[@jeannieg1726]

Wow, thanks for the experience! That was so cool! The Harrier is my favorite!

[@rockstarJDP]

Love how the pilot gave the crowd a bow - no better pilots in the world than those of the RAF!

[@acward2007]

Wow, loved every second of that - fantastic flying and commentry! (Who'd have thought I'd be watching this on Christmas Day 2018 ;-) )

[@rambler241]

So am I - for the second time! It's just not fair that someone can give so much pleasure to the crowd (and us), get so much fun doing it, and get paid for it!

[@qwertyfredqwertyfred]

rambler241 a lot of display pilots do the displays for free and not get paid they do it just for fun and it's mostly on there days of

[@Horizon344]

Interesting film, gives you a real sense of the brutal torque of the aircraft in quick manoeuvring

[@beaufighter245]

Amazing. Man and machine as one. Incredible skill and nerve of pilot.

[@465marko]

Yeah, what a nerve!

[@cheekygit2002]

Awesome plane and pilot skills

[@Montis.]

Best footage i've seen of the harrier

[@TheWessexmusic]

Superb bit of piloting of a brilliantly eccentric aircraft.

[@jasabasenara8124]

Your an amazing pilot, and safe. Well done. Love the harrier. The hover capability.

[@michaelross7153]

Wow, just wow!

[@berniecoles2337]

Saviour of the Falklands conflict. Never been tested at war, but came back master of one.

[@dronemonkey2038]

Excellent video, very capable aviator.

[@davidbarrett1487]

That is a superb unique aircraft with a superb pilot, sad it’s not flown here U.K. anymore.

[@para7843]

Another quick note, we would watch the displays every year at wittering all display pilots RAF wise would come to wittering to display in front of the AOC strike command. The tornado jaguar and harrier normally. It was a free air show so to speke but to be honest we would see the harrier display first thing in the morning and late evening because of the temperature for the engine performance. In the hover the harrier needs water and if it's to hot it's not a happy engine. Also Dave Haines makes it look so easy there and if you haven't pulled hard G it's so difficult to think when your blood is trying to pool in your lower extremities. That's how good RAF fighter pilots are switched on cookies.

[@andrewlavey6992]

Excellent display. I always say "ouch" when he pulls those "g's".

[@michaelrowan5588]

What an amazing aircraft. Awesome

That's a young Dave Haines. Prob a wg cmdr or gp cpt now

[@JohnSmith-tr1jf]

I thought the same so I googled him. As of 2014 he was (& probably remains) a Wing Commander.

[@joshrowles6463]

I've flew with Dave last August, hes a commercial pilot now but still is involved with flying every so often at RAF Wittering where I flew with him. Really nice guy, learnt lots with him teaching me in the cockpit!

[@abbamanic]

Terrible sale of these wonderful machines. What an aircraft!

[@migdonalds]

pulling 6 Gs while talking without any strain in his voice, what a monster

[@Aeronaut1975]

I'd love to know how much fuel was in the jet at the start. Those snap rolls are super snappy, nothing like the DCS AV-8B.

[@sebastiaomendonca1477]

The DCS AV-8B feels very sluggish compared to this, i dont think theres any way to do a pedal turn that fast

[@trikovich]

The snap turns are possible in DCS when the jet is light and moving fast, which is what he is doing in this display. I have flown the DCS RAZBAM harrier almost exclusively since launch and the more I come back to this video the more I am convinced it is a very accurate replication, which in turn make me enjoy flying it even more

[@trikovich]

Makes*

[@Enzoxvx]

Must be such a strange feeling to fly an airplane backwards

[@nathc5479]

Amazing 😎👌

[@12345fowler]

This shows why fast jet fighter demo should be exclusive to young active duty pilots. This request sharp skills on a suffiently regular basis and excellent physical conditions. Letting fast jet demos to ex-active military flying once or twice a months is considerable more risky, as you can see what it takes to do them and having the disciplin to execute them properly. (Annoucing every vital parameter / action)

[@58lp79]

Excellent! :)

[@garchaperez7641]

what are those R and J to the lower left corner of the HUD?

[@daveedwards3684]

J is for jet pipe temperature W is for water flow

[@daveedwards3684]

R I think is rpm

[@Wrahns]

The limiting indicators for Jet Pipe Temp and Engine RPM to maintain hover, the more of the indicator you see the less if that particular variable you have to work with.

[@br7dd]

you mean to tell me.. the bae harrier gr7 can hover in place?

[@sebastiaomendonca1477]

Yes?

[@rhurbstafalcon4807]

This was a Pilots A/C....real time stick and rudder stuff....it was never going to develop however....as the saying goes 'Within the corridors of power decisions are bought '.. There's guys and galls out there now just hoping that they dont end up in a dog fight in an F35...why...because it simply can't ...its radar signature isn't that stealthy...and has been suggested radar detection is beginning to outstrip stealth progress.....hence the real reason the F22 is screwed...I just hope we keep the Typhoon and the Yanks the F15 for the ...shall we say serious business... Any qualificatied references as to the Harriers capabilities can be obtained from the Argentine Air Force...circa 1982... An absolute first class display sir... 'Per ardua ad astra'

[@elmo-nu2qm]

The f35 would be much better in a dogfight the higher rcs on the harrier would allow the f35 to get a radar lock much quicker to shoot a a radar guided missile and put it self in a strategic position the harrier isn't meant for dogfighting just cas and the f22 is the most maneuverable jet the us millitary has and tied with the b2 with the lowest rcs for manned aircraft in active service

[@elmo-nu2qm]

A f15 pilot who switched to fly f22s beat the f15s everytime even on a 1v4 wnd said it was like clubbing seals and tye 5th gen fighters in redflag were destroying 4th gen flys by alot f35 had over a 20 kill to death ratio I dont know about the f22

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day, Yay Team ! Sadly, none of that works when a Harrier Pilot attempts to fly the Hawker Hunter T-7 at Shoreham. Ask Andy Hill, if he lives...; he'll be in Gaol, at the Clink Prison..., yes ? ;-p Ciao !

[@avantiplease]

+WarblesOnALot what an ill conceived and stupid comment. It wasn't murder, he didn't set out to create a horrendous accident.

[@WarblesOnALot]

avantiplease G'day, Thou art in error... Manslaughter carries a Gaol Sentence, as does Professional Malfeasance. This case involves a qualified experienced Display Pilot deliberately entering an Aerobatic Manouvre (to wit, a Vertical Climb, apparently with the intention of performing a 1/2 Cuban-8...) after a Fast Low Pass at 200 Ft...; his Display Authorisation allowed Straight & Level, down as low as 100 Ft, but it required a minimum of 500 Ft to commence ANYTHING "Aerobatic"... He was, therefore, 300 Feet too low to be Lawful when he pulled up, made a mess of that and washed off lots of Energy, thus failed to gain sufficient Height to have ever recovered un the Looping Plane, then instead of waiting till the Nose dropped and he was fast enough, he tried to roll off the top at 120 MPH, and the Aeroplane merely wobbled and yawed..., then when he DID aquire suficient Airspeed to roll he decided not to try again, but to instead attempt to recover in the Looping Plane...; and he impacted the Nearside of a Traffic-Jam, whereas if he had merely condescended to have been obedient to the terms of his Display Authorisation, even if he'd fouled everything else up exactly as he managed to do, then *he would have been 300 Ft up as he started to cross the Traffic-Jam, and he would've crashed "SAFELY" ON THE BARE GROUND...* , inside the Airfield Boundary...and then,the Great British Public would've been saved from all threat of Harm... The "Mens Rea" {I didn't intend to kill 14 People, and cook a dozen others, it "just(ifiably ?) happened"} does not at all apply as a Defence at Law in cases of Criminal Negligence Causing Death (involving breaches of the Law, or Regulations), nor in cases of Professional Malfeasance ; though it does separate Manslaughter from Murder. So, thy Rumpole Fantasias appeareth to have led thyself astray, entirely, m'Ludd...! ;-p Ciao !

[@aliray1165]

WarblesOnALot you're a smug bloke aren't you? You don't have all the facts at your disposal yet so why not wait till the report comes out?

[@aliray1165]

Jimmy yep. Absolutely zero social skills whatsoever.

[@jasonsansome5579]

Whenever you feel the need to show off your eloquent vocabulary in future, could you have the common decency not to do it in such a way as to cause yet more heartache to the relatives of the deceased. They did absolutely nothing wrong, other than to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[@mitty76]

What did he mean when he said the “water is flowing now “and “water”again later on?

[@GrahamMilkdrop]

The Harrier jet uses a store of water to create the conditions necessary for additional engine power while in hover. People usually say that it cools the engine but that isn't quite right.

[@mitty76]

Is it like water injection?

[@Horizon344]

Water being applied over the exhaust nozzles to cool them during hovering, you can see it at 7:06
