@wingsmuseum: Harrier Carrier Landings... Harrier Pilot Luke "Warren" Jacobs describes how landing a Harrier on a carrier isn’t just flying — it’s precision under pressure. Abrupt g-loads, tight decks, and zero room for error. Ultimately it was more of an art than a science. To learn more about these incredible aircraft, check out the full episode on our channel or Episode 64 of the Behind the Wings podcast!
Flying these in DCS with a VR headset is my absolute favorite flight sim experience. Absolutely insane capabilities for an aircraft without any handholding from a flight computer.

Widow maker for USMC when first entering service as they used baby pilots whereas RAF and GAF used at least 2nd tour post a helicopter course

Something I’m gonna miss is the Harrier’s sound. Can’t really recall ever hearing a plane as loud as the av8b 🥲

Yeah, but at the time, there was no peer. For a brief period, it was uniquely superb.

I love the looks of the early British ones. Sleek and menacing.
