Greetings from a former MALS-16 7011, 3rd MAW, 3rd MAG, MCAS Tustin CA, now Miramar. Semper Fi.

Thank you for sharing your story with us man i think without cnowing for the harrier i imagene your expresion as seing a alien ship taking of

IKR! And the British had a hand in every one of those beauties.

The f22 and f35 are probably the best aircraft in history. I saw them both at an air show, and it was awesome, it was unlike you would ever see before.when the f35 floated in the air and then took off at lightning speeds, and when the f22 roared violently in the skies. It’s the type of thing you wouldn’t wanna see as the enemy

Old, worn out and slow, Brilliant machine but the new Tempest will replace them.

@Pugna. No shit Sherlock

Can you still hear?

@@TheEternalUniverse he didn't hear you. You're gonna have to yell louder

Except the Harrier is an Attack aircraft, not a fighter aircraft.

Indeed He’s Like no other

Oh I love watching that show 👍

Joe C yeah hearing so much about the Lightening B that I forgot about how cool these still are. USMC must still have a bunch? 80 still combat ready, is all I could find but article is a few years old. Also said they’ll be phased out by 2025? Said their Hornet fleet is hurting so the Harrier is hanging around a bit longer. This was for the USMC anyway.

The air show was at MCAS Yuma and VMA-214 Black Sheep (now VMFA-214 flying the F-35B) is based at Yuma. So, it's not a traveling demo team, it's just a demo flight by pilot/aircraft based at the air station.

That's funny. I was stationed there from 1994-1997. H&HS Squadron.

@@derrickanderson9901 What was your MOS?

I was a cook. I lived in barracks with CFR, barracks 710 I think.

@@derrickanderson9901 I was married so I lived off base, but I did a lot of DNco

They changed from VMF to VMA in late-50s when they transitioned to the A-4 Skyhawks which they flew until the late 80s. Then they transitioned to the AV-8B Night Attack Harriers in the late 80s.

I think NASA are still using some modified B57 Canberras as research aircraft, but they have loaned them to the US miitary for use in Afghanistan in recent years.

@@eddiecobbett4084 @TheDisproof Yup, the Air Force used the British-designed B-57 (retired in early 80s) and now NASA. The US Coast Guard uses the French-designed MH-65 Dolphin helicopter. In the case of the B-57 and MH-65 the airframe is foreign but the engines, avionics and radar were replaced with American made units. However, as of 2004 the MH-65 no longer uses American engines and is currently using French engines. Whereas the Harrier has always used the British Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine because there wasn't an American engine equivalent. The US Army currently flies the UH-72 helicopter which is also French-designed. It has had French engines since the beginning because the requirement for a certain percentage of American equipment was reduced. The US Navy/Marine Corps currently fly the T-45 jet trainer which is British-designed - which, like the Harrier, also uses a British Rolls-Royce engine. There are currently 20+ foreign aircraft types in service with all branches of the US military, but most of the 20 types are small quantities of each.

@•F_bash Huh????

Uh?? The Brits were flying this long before the yanks got any. It's not a Hollywood film. Smh dude.

Люди за билеты заплатили! Пусть показывает свои возможности! Крутатень! Сразу захотелось Тру лис пересмотреть.
