    Good video as always. When I was a kid, I made a cardboard model of the Harrier GR3 based on a drawing. It was flying. A complete aerodynamics marvel.

      When I was in high school, I made whole squadron of miniature sea-harrier, and a model of aircraft carrier. I just love the sea harrier aircraft. Very sad that our Indian Navy retired them as the fleet was old.

      Im sorry but they wont sadly. F35 b are taking their place. I love harriers too but i also love the f35s and it is a good switch. But having said that. Wouldn't hurt to keep 50% of em and upgrade them then mothball em. Just incase they need them later. Honestly its suprising that they weren't used more in afganistan. Could of had Airbase FOBs. Woulda been handy and cool

    the British doctrine of a STOVL aircraft carrier severely limits on board flight operations . . . it's high time the Royal Navy revive it's unmatched naval heritage of the 1940s and pursue acquiring a fleet of three brand new 86,809 ton (101,050 ton loaded) stealth (CATOBAR) aircraft carrier powered by cutting edge bioFuelCell3® e-SMARTΔ i-HYBRId® marine propulsion system . . .

    the Harrier bounced obsolete fighters with no radar, rwr, countermeasures or defense weapons, returning to base low on fuel after their bombing runs on the brit fleet, hardly an epic achievement.

      And so did so many other aircraft of the 50s and 60s. It was a handful for the pilots, they’re open about that, but the short/no airfield capability it brought was revolutionary!

      Many aircraft from the 50s, 60s and 70s killed their pilots. Its off-runway capability could have been useful if the Cold War went hot. Britain would not have won the Falklands War without the Sea Harrier. And second generation Harriers proved themselves in the CAS role during the Gulf War, over Bosnia, Iraq & Afghanistan. So an aircraft that deserves the recognition it gets.

      As others said, many planes killed their pilots, however the Harrier it turned out to heavily come in terms of the US having this issue and that being due to how they were training their pilots/operational usage, once they changed this and adopted similar systems to the British, losses dropped quickly.
