Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports lmao

😂

Nice comment.

12 million

They raised it to 700 million after the lawsuit.

SpongeBob SapientPants Look dad I'm flying a harrier jump jet (911 footage plays)

Nevakonaza - then BOOM

Bit cringey the way she said it.

Look dad I’m flying a barrier jump jet missle fires

You want a chap or a jump jet?

Restoring a harrier jet is definetly on my bucket list😂

Jay Choi no it’s mi5 mi6 deal with overseas affairs

Thats a good one!

LOL😂😂😂

not going to do him much good without the engine and an ability to fly it. meant to be the very difficult to fly

Preppers have things that work. Without the engines, this thing is just garden decoration.

precisioninstruments It was more of an exaggeration done on purpose

SilverSnake you mean 7,000,000?

Hunter Bruyere he got a discount since he worked at pepsi

originally it was 7,000,000 the guy even due to get it and they didn’t give it to him then rase it to 700,000,000 that is mess up tho.how pepsi thought of the court system and the whole world saw it.fault advertising.if a Chinese company advertise that the guy would win in court bet yall.

carabela125 45 months would be closer

He probably already owns a dog.

nah that would be downgrading

carabela125 f35's are fucking beast... fuck the haters

+Nissan Tiida yes its beast but the harrier is better.

at the end of world war 2, thousand of aircrafts both from the USA, England, and Germany were ordered destroyed. I have a historical book with color photos of P51 mustangs, P40 Thunderbolts, P38 lightings, Bf 109 Messerschmitts, being chopped down in the field where allied and German troops left down. these were in flyable condition. even the pilots who flew them were saddened by these carnage. only a few were left to serve as fighters for allies of the USA. imagine, the cost of a P51 mustang was only $30K at that time. just like the cost of todays medium priced car.

Ramon Kabigting Well, include inflation and it getrs closer to a million now. All the more reason not to waste them, even for their materials. But those were the conditions of the lend lease: we give you cash and materiel now, and then at the end of the war you ditch all your beautiful planes into the sea so you don't push down the price on our military exports. And now something like a Tempest II or a P-38 or Mosquito is more valuable than gold dust because nearly all of them were destroyed or cannibalised for parts by crop dusters in the US.

The conditions of lend lease were to return the material after the war.

Yes, but in actual fact, the stuff that got sent over was seriously devalued by hard use and the fact that technology had progressed so fast. So a Martlet/Wildcat from 1940 was not competitive with a Sea Hornet or a Vampire made just a couple of years later, so the cost of returning them was probably higher than their worth. Later war, the lend lease worked both ways, as the British war machine picked up the pace, it was producing better planes than the not-quite-current ones that were included in the LL. A little different for tanks, as the Sherman proved a great low-cost platform, especially in its modified forms with better guns etc. The thing about the lend lease's post-war terms wasn't about the actual materiel that got shipped, but about the defence market afterwards. They still wanted the UK to buy from US companies, which they wouldn't have if they still had all this stuff lying around to fill up support roles or be broken down for materials, so it had to go. It was fair enough economically, given how much stuff had been either given or sold at massive discount, but it was pretty tragic and destructive of all these beautiful machines.

The material was devalued but it still was returned, per the original conditions of lend lease. If the US wanted to pay the cost of transport all the way to American soil that was up to them and some of it was. Sometimes it was just a matter of taking it into the American zone in Germany and saying "here it is" Or US bases in England. Much of it was sold off to other smaller allies or dumped. Lend Lease worked both ways early in the war when the US was caught short and unprepared. The British war machine picked up pace when the war started, 1939, and British and Canadian stocks of war material was still bigger than what the US had at the end of 1942. One of the items were small ships for escort duty that Canada and Britain provided to the US. The British were producing better planes even before Lend Lease started and provided them to USAAF when they arrived in England and North Africa. The agreement about Lend Lease post war terms was that the US wanted Britain to open up it's consumer and commercial trade to include the US after the war. Before the war Britain mostly traded among it's Empire, colonies and Commonwealth. The US wanted in to help benefit the US economy. Another Lend Lease term was for the US to take over Britain's military bases around the world. As far as Britain buying war material from the US defense market after the war, Britain still built it's own tanks, planes and ships. They didn't buy from the US after the war for the most part. Agree completely about the beautiful machines.

And beautiful wife.

jajaja! Excelente!

you know shes soooooo pissed

If he didn't she wasn't worth having anyway

Used to love seeing the Harriers at saints, both as a kid and an adult. Even managed to work on a few as a CAB back in 2002 - 2003 ish. Missus probably wouldnt be happy with on ein the back garden, but i know me old man would love it! lol

Engine would probably cost £150K I don't think he has the money for that and that's why he was up for selling it...

Fit a ducted fan EDF unit ;)

thats so awkward and so unfunny even though you thought ppl will crack up

Castle Lane, Heath House, Wedmore, Somerset BS28 4UH

Self Made Haha,yeah me two,a totally unnecessary gratuitous bit of sickly sweet kid nonsense! Seen but not heard should be the rule.

Mark Hepworth that comment alone was more cringe than what she said in the first place

your obviously not a pilot because they had a pretty bad reputation...unless you flew one..

I know their reason was bad because it was more of a helicopter pilots jet. As it constantly had to be flown. In the beginning, there were many crashes. After that the air force started using helicopter pilots to test fly the plane

Finnish ball Haha indeed

TheStressD: £10k many not buy you happiness. It will allow you to hover very close to it...

what?

You are better off getting a plane from a mothballed fleet. The boneyard is for an aircraft that already reach the end of it's service life. The airframe is already badly fatigue and may not survive another flight. But if you just want it for static display, then i guess it's ok.

That would be cool! My brother was a navigator in the B-52. He could be your navigator!!! LOL

lanunselatable You are incorrect about Davis Monthan AFB. Many of those aircraft ARE mothballed and can be put back into service fairly quickly. However, most of the aircraft there, are simply waiting to be cut up for scrap.

My dream house would be a converted C-5 haha
