I was privileged to be a USMC Officer Candidate in June 1972 attending OCS training at Quantico, VA when as part of that training it included a performance for us aviator destined types by the Chief Pilot of Hawker Siddeley demonstrating the AV-8A Harrier. The demonstration not only included showing the Harrier's amazing agility, but the PA system on the field was linked to the pilot who in his great British accent described every action he was taking in pulling off each maneuver. He had 100 USMC Officer candidates going crazy with excitement watching that incredible show.
That is a very, very loud aircraft 😮
Its sound is unmistakable. A great aircraft that has served long beyond its planned lifespan.
One of the coolest jets!!
Heavens.. I've been watching Harriers since 1978, both AV-8A's and AV-8B's. Amazing that they are still flying, but I'd assumed they were retired once the F-35B was serving in a lot of squadrons. It's nice to be wrong now and then. 😀
We love the harrier. Unfortunately here in the UK we sold all ours 😢 great video, very nostalgic for us brits 😊😊 😊😊😊😊😊
Yeah, I was at Davis Monthan as they arrived then got shots in storage, such a absolute waste.
You should be proud, UK invented this unique jet!

With a lot of help - both financial and technical - from the MWDP - particularly the United States - as Rowland White points out in his book Harrier 809. The UK ended up being a subcontractor on the Harrier II having abandoned the project from 1975-1981.
“Without American support, it’s entirely possible there’d never even have been a Harrier; at least not one that existed beyond the confines of Ralph Hooper’s sketchbook. As early as 1959, NASA saw enough potential in the embryonic British jump jet design to provide encouraging technical reports. And while the Hawker board might have sanctioned building two P.1127 prototypes without any official backing, it was American money from an organization called the Mutual Weapons Development Program based in Paris - a sort of military start-up incubator - that largely financed the construction of the expensive BE.53 Pegasus engines on which flying prototypes were dependent. Indeed it was the same agency that had introduced Sir Stanley Hooker to Michel Wibault’s Gyroptere in the first place. Such was the lack of British government interest or support that one senior USAF General was sure that without intervention ‘an all British P.1127 would die a natural death - it would just wither away.’ And so the Pentagon proposed the creation of a multinational squadron to conduct a series of trials using a development of the P.1127 known as the Kestrel.” Harrier 809, Rowland White, pg. 75
Such a beast! STILL a thunderous and mighty bird! Love the Harrier!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Love the Harrier II, and my favorite jet sound.
Iconic aircraft ... thanks !!!
Seeing this demo again was such a joy. I absolutely love the Harrier. Great footage as always.
A Very Unique Aircraft the Harrier is ...A Milestone in Avaition..💯💯👏👏👏🥰
Awesome
The Harrier is a very interesting jet! It looks like the USMC is looking on replacing their Harrier fleet with the F-35B in the near future, so enjoy the time this thing is still flying
They have been replacing them with the F-35B for a while now. VMA-231 will be the last squadron to sunset the Harrier before transitioning over to the Lightning II.
Super camera work 😊
Very impressive!
In India,Madhya Pradesh City= Bhopal Indian airforce Celebrate 91th Anniversary in Bhopal Through AirShow in Bhopal I'm so Very Exited To See This Wonderfull Moment ❤
AMAZING AIRCRAFT, MARVEL, GREAT BLOWING, TIME SUSPEND SPLENDID VERTILCAL FLY, WONDERFULL, CONGRAUTLATIONS AND THANKS OF SHARE YOUR VIDEO,, YOUR FRIEND OSCAR DE PLAYA DEL CARMEN Q R MÉXICO.
That's crazy seeing it hover . Massive engines
One massive engine. It's a single engine aircraft.
Great video!! Guy Martin had a hand in the restoration of N3200.
I sure hope not the AV-8B Harrier can still do a heck of a lot more than what most people might think. It can mess a lot of things up if it had to be put into combat. No one would want to mess with it at all 💯 percent guaranteed. It's truly a legendary aircraft without a doubt. Besides the F-35B there's no other aircraft out there that can relate. It's also an iconic aircraft. It does things people thought weren't possible for an aircraft to ever do. Can you imagine what it can do with upgrades.
Still a superb plane
A good friend of mine had the privilege to fly on top of one Harrier over South Florida before he was fired ☹️
If only Dana wouldn't have taken that key.
Love the Harrier!! They were retired too early in my opinion from UK Military service. Should have waited until at least the F35B was in RAF/Royal Navy service
Ahhh, was hoping for a level 1 demo. Great shooting!
👏👏👏

The new yellow paint on the nose is a stealth coating we are trying out.
Awesome video thanks for sharing! I was there too where it stopped I posted the video if you wanna check it out. It's not as good as yours. I used an iphone13pro what do you use?
VMA-223 Bulldogs.
Was great to see the USMC pilot did not eject and lose this aircraft...but then, the weather was nice.
pogue
She’s got an awfully “puffy” port side engine exhaust. Can any harrier techs speak to this? THANKS! For peaking my curiosity.
Oooo ooo maybe a part of the water injection system? Or is that only used in hover? It was puffing during high speed passes too hmm
She's just burning some fuel.
@@whtlightnnwater injection works at a certain power setting if selected.
its applying maximum power with zero air speed into the intake so the engine is starved of air causing some unburned fuel.
Would much rather fly Harrier than Fat Amy
Фантастически прекрасная машина! Болванкам F-35A and F-35B с электроникой внутри далеко до Harrier! Thank you!!
I know the Marines are being forced to fly the F-35 but I hope they keep their jump Jets
