[HD 1080p] AV-8B HARRIER HOVERING - 50 YEARS OF HARRIER 

Detail shots of the Boeing (Mcdonnell Douglas) AV-8B Harrier, which turns 50 this year. The first Sea Harrier flew in 1967, while the AV-8Bs, which are significantly redesigned, first flew in 1985.
Listen to the howl of the Rolls-Royce F402-RR-408A Pegasus engine as it spools up on startup, and the roar as the jet hovers in full power with water injection creating black smoke.
According to Wikipedia, the US Marine Corps plans to operate the Harrier until at least 2025; the F-35B model is slowly replacing it.
