US Marines Harrier....not US Navy.....
***** im sad theyre getting rid of it in 2030, at that point ill be lucky to fly it for a few years.
@@SemperVestibulum Marines are a part of the Navy.
asciibaron yes, the Marine Corps is department of the Navy...the men’s department
@@asciibaron Bit late, but nope. Marine Corps is a seperate branch. Don't be so ignorant
@@nuzor7 the Department of the Navy has two uniformed services, the US Navy and the US Marines. the US Marines answer to the SECNAV. Marine officers go tthe US Naval Academy.
these facts are easily found on the internet sites for both the Department of the Navy and the US Marines.
Awesome pilot. Awesome landing.
steve hale Great British plane, as for the pilot, in his own words "He could not see the stools" so he just put it down "LUCKY"
We are all intelligent but sometimes lack the means to express or create our own ideas.
Balls of steel, extremely talented and yet humble. Hats off and load of respect!
What a plane and one of the few to have proved itself in battle. The British used to practice landing things like this 30 years ago.
Amazing British Jet!
Wild About Nature it’s not British it’s American r/wooosh
RazorWolf Taylor the Harrier is a British invention developed and built by hawker in the UK. Then built under licence in the US. Just because it has US markings on it doesn’t make it any less British
that's not how r/wooosh works
British used it the best just ask the argie’s
@@hydrazune shut up
All around excellent job Captain Mahoney!
What an airplane and what a pilot!
One hell of a landing. Awesome!
And to think our esteemed leader, Mr D Cameron, scrapped all the RAF's harriers. Such a wise decision considering the very few qualities of this aircraft.
Great Pilot.......Great Harrier.
Congratulations to Capt. Mahoney for keeping his cool under very trying circumstances. If it was me, I would have been crying, shaking and really
"chewing the Rosary".
Keeping his cool to land a vertical take-off plane without front gear? Worst case scenario is that the plane would have leaned forward a little after he hit the deck. He wasn't coming in hot with a Tomcat. Geez, I didn't know the Marines were such pussies these days. Imagine if he had to go into COMBAT?!
That right baby! Our military rocks.
It is pretty expensive. Isn't it.
Less than half the price of the (we'll get it right eventually) F35.
+Barry Sabahat hate to burst your bubble, but other countries have air forces that can land on small roads on mountains (The Swiss) rather than a stool. Plus other countries have this kind of plane
+Barry Sabahat The very first hover by the first Harrier cost £16,000 44 years ago. The Typhoon costs £61,000 per one hour of flight mostly down to depreciation and maintenance.
I didn't say other countries ' military sucks. I just like ours too.
Such an amazing plane.
US NAVY doesn't fly Harriers...UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS flies Harriers!
+FRANCO MARIC So it's the USMC that has some sense then!
FRANCO MARIC read the desk.
FRANCO MARIC exactly, I said the same thing
The US Marines are a part of the US Navy . Everything and anything going to the Marines goes through the Navy first . The Marines get hand-me-down weapons from the US Navy SEALS. SEALS tests it , determines it's abilities and practicalities , then the SEALS het their pick of the weapons or equipment first to outfit all SEAL teams , then Marines get there's and it's usually set up to where the Army and the other military services het their shot at it .
Does it matter?
The Harrier Jump Jet - another brilliant British invention.
That the US (McDonell-Douglas) had to improve
No, modified so that sub-standard Marine Corp pilots could fly the plane.
+Daddyclive Modified so they aren't limited to dropping dumb bombs, beyond visual range capability, night flight capabilities, etc etc. All around a much better aircraft.
+LuisQ7492 MD did nothing to it in engineering terms, any mods were done by British Aerospace in Brough and Kingston.
+zoinks shaggy Nope. Still the only aircraft in the world that can do what it does. The F-35 doesn't come close.
I wish there was a aircraft carrier where I could land my Hydra
And without getting 5 stars...
The US Navy didn't. have and combat squadrons of Harriers. They were a Marine Corps aircraft.
If the Navy had any in inventory, they probably would have been a test and evaluation command like Pax River or China Lake.
good thing that jet was capable of hovering. . . ...can u imagine landing without a front wheel and traveling 100 mph
+Mr.Chuck
Yeah at this point he would of had to eject.
Would've used a barricade.
RamSheen TV more like 30mph
I'd try and stall it and get it on the rear gear
Carriers have a barricade which can be rigged in the event of an aircraft needing to land without the ability to do so normally (malfunctioning gear, tail hook, damage to the aircraft etc.)
The barricade is essentially a large net of webbing which a crew can setup across the runway of a carrier in just a few minutes. A plane can then essentially fly/roll into this barrier and it will "arrest" (or decelerate and ideally stop) an aircraft. With malfunctioning gear, they'd hit the barricade and cause some significant damage to the deck/barriers, which would need repairs, so first of all they'd have to ground any other aircraft in the area which rely on that carrier, before they bring in the final damaged aircraft, as it'd hinder the ability for other aircraft to land in the event of a damaged carrier deck.
It's really a (second to) last case scenario (after ejection which is the all-else-fails option and incredibly dangerous, primarily to the pilot, as ejection can cause serious back injury and landing in the ocean is not a fun time.)
Ideally, however, if the plane is close enough to land to be diverted to an actual runway, that would be, by far, the safest option.
That's how the Marines do it! Oorah!
Oorah!
I’m British and even I have to admit that was one hell of a landing
🌈🌈🌈🌈
This Army veteran adds his
HUAH!!!!
🇺🇸
Now this is the kind of news i want to see
I so love the Harrier,, I love the way it looks,, and the performance is amazing.. love it,, thanks for sharing.
All that practice. He can do it blindfolded in 60 foot seas. What a guy. Maverick
Damn!!! Nice work Capt. William Mahoney!
Shout out to the person with the foresight to install a stool for this exact scenario.
I bet those maintainers were pissed! Having to fix a radome and the landing gear as well as going through an over speed checklist.
I was thinking the jet was going to land on a massive turd for some reason..... I guess I misread the title.
WOW - Nice work Soldier. 🛬❕
Mission failed, well get them next time
+XTheLostChampionX
The mission didn't fail, the aircraft was broken and had to land. Any landing that a pilot walks away from is a good one, especially in fighter jets
@@francessweeney2308 r/woooooosh
Couldn't have done it without that British plane. Hats off to the Brits, I say!
Yer, the landing gear failed. lol
SexyToshi Yep, on the American "improved" Harrier, lol :-)
Hear hear!
Majestic Skywhale
The jet engine WAS given free to America by Britain and all the "Lend Lease" stuff was PAID for by Britain. Everybody knows these things. Now stop talkng rubbish and bugger off.
Majestic Skywhale
I regret your error or ommission. Whilst tacit repayment by the UK to the US - in the form of technologies - is a documented matter, the Lend Lease to the UK - just over $1bn - is also known to have been fully repaid in monetary instalments by 2006:
"The final payment of $83.3 million (£42.5 million), due on 31 December 2006 (repayment having been deferred in the allowed five years), was made on 29 December 2006 (the last working day of the year). After this final payment Britain's Economic Secretary to the Treasury formally thanked the U.S. for its wartime support." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease#Repayment.
Just...Amazing!!
Wow dude. Thats an amazing young man. Perfect fking perfect
Great job. He did nail it.
Made me damn proud. ☺
skillfully done William... a walk in the park!!!
I salute that pilot!
Very cool
Bravo !!!
Nicely done Captain!
Great stuff!
Good skills👍✈️
Well done aviator.
Good job Captain
Well done sir
very talented pilot. I believe the Harrier is AKA THE WIDOWMAKER.
It would be even better to have jet that work properly.
hold my beer....
it is though
totally impressive!
Add lidar on landing alignment may help pilot precise landing or mirror tube to see fligh deck clearly during sea operation
That is one steely-eyed, missile man! Wow!
British engineering at its best..
+km bismark AV-8B is American engineering mate..
And made in the USA.
***** No its American engineering ..The last and only truly British Harrier Brits had was the GR3 and the Sea Harrier and modified GR3 the late British Harrier GR7 was originally the Harrier AV8-B and Brits bought them off the yanks !!!
+FORBAN2 They're all based on the Hawker Siddeley engineering design, including all cloned versions.
Εωσφόρος Not true ! The last and only truly British Harrier was the GR3 and its upgraded version and the Sea Harrier..AV-8B is entirely different and has little or nothing to do with the original Hawker Siddeley ..
The latest British Harrier GR7 was a copy of the AV-8B..
Good job! Though the last ten feet were in a hurry!
I'd luv a go in one of those jets
Navy doesn't fly Harriers, just the USMC.
SIR , u are a BOSS !!!! respect ;)
+Angelo Van Den Brande thanks man
i can do that no probs,,,someone hold my beer.
Sure! Bud or Pabst Blue Ribbon...?!?!
Lol! Someone hold my beer! Lol!
and get out the rubbing compound. heh
Hold my beer LOL I love Comment s
Silly Goose
that was freakin awesome dude
Nice bit of flying, Marine!
Great pilot skills !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USMC/ Semper Fi
And THAT is why U.S. Pilots are the greatest on the face of the Earth! Awesome.
they aren't great.
they aren't even better than europeans
they are the greatest just by number and wallet size, still enough to win against a much smaller army with far greater training but the costs of war would be very big as also the impact on American families that lost their soldiers.
so yeah, they're not very good in the end and they aren't performing so well on the current war either, they rely much more on the European forces' support and claim the final victory as theirs when they find a weak spots and send their special forces.
+CeeDee Player they are not very smart.
Change the name of the video, to match the story, it's a Marine Corps Pilot & Jet.
Pardon my French but DAMN that boy is good!!
Amazing
1:00 is that sarcasm I hear, captain?! 😂
Keeping the Crayola factory safe one Harrier at a time.
That's why the UK and the U.S. belong together.
Perfect Harmony
Looks awesome like a star wars ship landing.
Good drop with a harrier...cheers
Lol the English made a hovering jet
+Derpysquidman King of all squids your a few years outa date lol
+Derpysquidman King of all squids ah lol forgive me it was early in the morning lol
Amazing.
I know these guys, this must have been quite a few years ago
Well done. They should add that to simulator on console games.
"simulator"... "Console"... "games"....
BESTED jet every made need to make a new design
Good job
The best landing 👍
Props to that pelot for landing on that prop.🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
I think we were all gibaited into thinking he was gonna land ON the stool
Good job sweetheart.
Great British plane.
Mega!!!
Didnt know the navy had Harriers.
Seeing the US operate a British plane is awesome. Everybody wins in terms of pride, haha.
Can't they make some kind of poles that stick out either side of the stool so that the pilot can gauge if he's aiming for the middle? All these smart, skillful men, and they haven't thought of two skinny poles that attach to the "stool" - maybe with measurements on them, or thick black lines marked off at 1-foot intervals - that would make this all an efficient maneuver?
Proof that we(USA) STILL have the best pilots in the world.
Whoami691 No, but I've seen the Green Berets.
***** Watch the red arrows, then get back to me. They are highly skilled pilots, probably best in the world.
Whoami691 Yeah, I know them. I'm British. I pay for them. But I've never seen them.
That was cool
Kritacul Well your welcome for your aircraft engines :) UK
omg once i saw the number 5 on the hull i knew it was the USS Bataan
wow!
skillz
Sky News taking full advantage of one of the perks that comes along with being the mouth piece of the military - exclusive interviews.
Mint that best of British engineering 😬🇬🇧👏
Excellent job! Time to retire those harriers. peace
Yes, because your average plane can land without its landing gear, and yes, they do fail on other planes!
Great
But think about a huge mattress made for such a landing
I hope he got an Air Medal. Great job, Marine!
For landing? Sheee-it.... Let's no get overjoyed over nothing here...
I think it should be called "Nesting the Bird".
Excellent term, dig it!!!
I'm always amazed (and proud) of how young these guy and girls are that we trust with a $25 million dollar machine.
Marine Corps, not navy.
Very impressive.
Hope they made up a brown ribbon award for him lol!
I thought the title said school not stool
Conclusive proof that landing gear is unnecessary.
But that stool will be hard to scootch around, and the NOISE!
a bench would be better than a stool
So why is the Harrier crops up when i watch Sky News ?
Truly an awesome landing. The pilot could have come in gently, put his nose on the stool and it would have been ok. This guy comes in, no messing around, shut your eyes, cut the power from way higher than normal and boom he’s down!
I thought it was only Marines that use the Harrier.
it is United States Marine Corps (not US Navyu!!) AV-8B Harrier II Plus cheers
that's one small carrier......
+avikbellic911 It's actually not a carrier. This is a Wasp class LHD amphibious assault ship. Check out the wikipedia article. These things are really cool.
+Austin Clay
$750 Million, year 1989 manufactured, 8 of these were made 8/8 are alive.....seems like these are good for stealth missions but not for direct offense tho.
avikbellic911 Not stealth so much as supporting more direct fighting ships. LHDs are designed to get Marines and their equipment/vehicles (Humvees, tanks, etc) from the sea onto the shore with landing craft or any kind of helicopter (and support Harrier and Osprey aircraft). They're also really good at humanitarian relief operations. In a pinch, they can transfer fuel to other ships as well.
So its like armored cargo battleship type....(lol bad at naming) well i seen some battleships tho which are same as this but has lots of mounted cannons dont know the name but something like AH or ZH.*****
