In 2000, Flt Lt Dave Haines from 20(R) Squadron displayed the BAe Harrier GR7 at the RAFA Shoreham Airshow. In this extended coverage, Dave talks us through his display.

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 Жыл бұрын
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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-nu2qm2 жыл бұрын
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

@WarblesOnALot9 жыл бұрын
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 !
