Back in the 1970's I worked on the A version Harrier, in Every Harrier Squadron the US Marine Corps had. Competent Electricians were in very short supply and I was "Loaned" out from my parent Squadron, VMA 513. I absolutely loved it. I loved working on them so much I would go a month before I took a day off. My uniforms were a mess as I never took time to properly care for them. But even without trying , I made Sergeant at 19 years of age.
I was a Corpsman at MCAS Cherry Point from '88-'91. I loved watching the Harrier's fly.
I was a flight deck Blue shirt back in 1976, straight out of Great Lakes, on USS Franklin D Roosevelt, we were the first Carrier to have Harriers, they were VMA 231, seems like a lifetime ago.
Cheers from Brazil. Our air force got F5s , A1s and Gripens . Im sure all military aviators share the same passion and dedication to the their job no matter what they fly 🫡
Brilliant aircraft,I used to build these back in early 80’s in Kingston. Good to see the Americans still value them….
Yes! The US Marines still fly the Harrier. Just think, been flying them since 1973..that's 50 years. And I think they will for another couple of years.
The British Harrier and the USA Sidewinder! British Subs and USA Trident. The list is a long one in many fields.
If only we could both elect some decent politicians the world could be a very different and a better place!
That ol’ British bugger is not to be forked around with. You will find out.
The jump to an av8 harrier to f35b is wild
Love this. The ol' North Carolina Lawn Dart. we're gonna miss em' when they're gone.
I saw one crash in the early 80s
I had no idea this were still flying in service. Thats really cool.
Someone here local has one in a barn. The run it around a field. YT clip somewhere.
Small enough to keep in your garage.....Love these birds of prey...
I was attached to VMA-231 back at MCAS Cherry Point back in 1976-1978… I was part of 2nd FSSG, so not truly an Airedale. The squadron had AV-8As at that time and in the old green cammie paint for woodland deployment. We also had A4 Skyhawks in other squadrons, but I always thought the Harriers were my favorites.
What ? They still fly the Harrier ?
Wow ! 1997 is the last time I worked with these aircraft……. Amazing !
I’m still pissed that Pepsi lied and said you could win one!
Woh, I'm still waiting...have they said we need to wait longer?
Unforgivable
Served with them '81-'84 at MCAS CPNC driving A and C models. SFMF!
I sat on the north end of the flight line at MCAS CPNC for 2 years attached to MWSS 27 listening to the AV-8B and the A6 Intruder taking off and landing… Damn those things are loud!
SEMPER FI BROTHER!
Great upload thank you ❤
How about that mighty Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan engine! Fun fact … to minimize the gyroscopic effect, the two main shafts in the engine rotate in opposite directions! Great video … thanks!
Must be why those engines sound so weird, like a card in bicycle spokes, some sort of counterrotating coupler.
@@BasedF-15Pilot Not sure about the noise but turns out contra rotating shafts in jet engines are not that uncommon. In addition to the Harrier, the engines in the Tornado, Raptor and F-35 as well as several modern large civil high bypass turbofans also have this feature. Not only are the precessive torque forces reduced (important at low speed and high AoA’s), but having the shafts in an engine rotate in opposite directions also increases the internal aerodynamic efficiency in the gas path as well as permitting a reduced engine total parts count which can make the engine shorter and lighter … who knew!
what you hear differently is the large N1 fan blades. nothing to do with the internals.
Great video great to see The Harriers still about we used to gave of loads of them in the Royal Air Force unfortunately they was scrapped.
God Bless You All 💯❤️🇺🇸❤️
I think it’s funny how the MFDs are blurred when I can boot up DCS and see what they do.
Probably the training route they don't want you to see, not the displays.
Frickin awesome power
Át bích. Máy bay tấn công AV-8B Harrier. Không quân Mỹ, Mạnh mẽ và tối tân 🇺🇸👍.
The 500mph tape on the heads up display is priceless. LOL
awesome video
US MARINES AV-8B Harrier II V/STOL attack aircraft
There's no need to blur the MFD's out. We know almost everything about the Harrier through DCS.
It was the best of british that aircraft set the way of all others
The Harrier was junk until McDD got ahold of it.
@@TheCyberMantis Bollocks.
@@davewalkden7248 Nah, truth.
@@davewalkden7248 Harrier 1s were very mid lmao.

Did this a million times. I was an avionics tech for VMA 311…..
Yea!? But can you play smoke on the water…
Yes Yes Extraordinary 👉👍
No pony music 👌🏻 sweet
This aircraft is so much British it almost sounds like a bagpipes. British steel 🤘
how to make blur on MFD screen ?
Không quân Hoa Kỳ. Đầy đủ máy bay chiến đấu các loại. US rất tuyệt vời 🇺🇸👍.

Ace of Spades. In 1993, this squadron lost 5 jets in 6 months with only one fatality. All were mechanical failures.
Better than UK 1950's, one jet a week went down.
@@flybobbie1449 1950’s, the jet age was in its infancy. 1964, the US Navy/Marine Corps was losing 500 planes/crew/year. NATOPS was initiated and numbers dropped dramatically which makes 1993 a huge anomaly

Does the 🇺🇸 usa still use the harrier ?
US Marine Aviators still operate the Super Harrier. But they are all rolling into retirement. To be all replaced by the F-35B.
👍👏🥇👋
Agreed-up until several years back. Clearly U.S. aircraft are the best in the world.....
The Harrier is a British design 😂
@@CharlieNoodles Harrier 1 was, the harrier II is american.
The engine sounds like a hedge trimmer or leaf blower.
So does any commercial passeneger airliner when your seat is situated just in front of the engine during takeoff. There are thousands of videos on YT with the same sound filmed by passengers.
@@Aeronaut1975 maybe some videos, most of the ones I listened to didn't have the same sound as this one
because the sound is confined in a tiny space and it is a military engine.

Glad you censored that EHSD page. ;)

Beefy, as always!
