That was cool. Even though I was in an Army infantry Battalion, we were attached to a Marine Division in Iraq. We had the privilege of enjoying Naval and Marine air assets. I got to see Harriers, Hornets, and Cobras in action in 2004.
I was army infantry as well and also spent time with marines who had some awesome pilots they would use while we were in ramadi. In Afghanistan I saw a lot of a10 aircraft and some helicopters.
The Navy's still supporting guys in Iraq/Syria now. I was Long Range Surveillance, and my life was dependant on air assets, not just for in and a ride home, but food.
It's rare to still see someone flying the AV-8B anymore in ops like this in DCS. It's such a treat to see this Harrier used again in a way that only what a Harrier can do. Such a nice air-ground attack airframe.
Gotta say I DO love the multiple views you usually give us of the action these days. We get to see good details we missed the first time. That makes it much more satisfying! 😊
Last time I saw you in the Harrier doing some SEAD a few years ago, I decided to try DCS myself. Harrier was my 1st FF module. Today, I have all the maps and most of the modules... Thanks, GS!
Wow man, this is probably my favorite video of yours to date. For context, my father was a Boeing tech rep who worked on the Harrier program for 30+ years. He would absolutely love this!
Не назвал бы этот самолет самым красивым, но я им очарован с детства, почему-то! Возможно из-за боевика с Шварцнегером! Очень классный самолет, жаль, что считают устаревшим уже!
I feel like a pair harriers would have been better for that mission. You were stretched a little thin chasing car bombs. Fun story though! Look forward to more :)
Wait. Tracers bounce off the ground that much? I mean I expect a few, but that was like 90% bounce rate off dirt... And MRAPs are tough. Anyone inside that thing probably survived. They won't hear or see straight for a few weeks, but they'll survive.

Can you switch aircraft for the mission? Say, fly a -16 instead of the Harrier?
i love the harrier but if im not mistaken its no longer supported so its put me off getting it
Those were the most hyper accurate Zuni rockets. (3.5") That I have ever seen.
That last show of force for the guys gave me an adrenaline rush bro but chills at same time think of the friends lost in these exact ops

@alanluscombe8a553 I was in Habbanyah in 04-05
@@paez4779 Ah, by the Ramadi dam.
Were you part of the 2nd ID ? I heard the brigade were attached to Marine Division and were authorized to wear the Marine patch

Whoever is firing from that Huey is WAY more accurate than Longshot. 😆
rude ;)
That's what I wanted to say as well. First time I see a helicopter shoot straight instead of pissing all over the countryside!
“Shoot the tree line”
“I am!”
“Shoot the tree line 😂”
Same thing that came to my mind. Those aren't two idiots in a heli.
NAVAIR: 2.75" rockets aren't intended to be precision munitions.
GS: Hold my beer.
💯 That rocket deflection shot was somethin' else!
And GS is up, here he goes, oh, he missed the truck, BUT A PERFECT STRIKE, And GS is the new Bowling for Taliban Champion!
He used AMRAAM as a bruiser. The 2.75" rocket here is trivial compared to that
Might wanna check your airframe for an Afghan Licence plate lodged somewhere... those car bomb rocket passes were low n' SPICY.
As a former Marine, I love the Harrier. Close air support is a vital lifeline. You did yourself proud!
Semper Fi brother! And Happy Birthday!
The f35 from what I know is just a better harrier
These are by far my favorite videos! Love the CAS
Gotta say I DO love the multiple views you usually give us of the action these days. We get to see good details we missed the first time. That makes it much more satisfying! 😊
12:34 "little bit off target" bro went from a solid to fine mist in about half a second. I think you got him, man (´ﾟωﾟ｀)
It's no A-10, but the Harrier does hold her own in air to ground. Good show!
Good to see the Harrier get some work done!!
The brits should call you if some argentinians touch their rock again
Thats awesome the plane has MEU paint. VMA-231 Ace of Spades jet attached to VMM-266 Fighting Griffins. Cool detail.
About time you fly the harrier again
I had never even heard of DCS up until a month ago, and im blown away by how freaking neat this shit is!!!!!
I got about 500 hours in and I think I might be getting the hang of the basics
@@asiberiantiger188 Took me a good 2 hours to cold start the Mi-24, then crashed immediately while trying to take off.
10/10.
Welcome to the community! :D
@@DonVigaDeFierro LMFAO!!!!!
Smooth move by the Huey...he was aware of what you were doing G.S...Im digging the objective missions...
Great birthday video for my fellow jarheads! Happy birthday, Marines!
Happy Birthday and Semper Fi! 🍻
I always love the flybys. Great morale booster.
10:45 Shit, I'm late for work at the supermarket again. Mr Abdullah is going to dock my pay. Oh, well I guess my day can't get any worse.
Happy to see the harrier moving mud. Nice show.
That windsock at the beginning was having a go at it.
Last time I saw you in the Harrier doing some SEAD a few years ago, I decided to try DCS myself. Harrier was my 1st FF module.
Today, I have all the maps and most of the modules...
Thanks, GS!
Awesome brother, harrier was one of my first aircraft as well back in the day. Definitely a fun one.
Wow man, this is probably my favorite video of yours to date. For context, my father was a Boeing tech rep who worked on the Harrier program for 30+ years. He would absolutely love this!
Finally some AV-8 content ! Love it, keep it up man, an Argentinian A-4 CAS mission would be so cool :)
The Harrier always looks overloaded with the shoulders slumped from the weight, but still getting through the weight put on it.
Was I the only one that saw that HUGE piece of shrapnel fly by within arms reach of the canopy!!?
No, I saw it too. Very spicy, _very_ close.
More videos like these. Missions and don’t forget the landings.
So cool that the Huey stopped shooting. (If only real time communication were always so precise and efficient).
Awesome action!! Better than some movies
Always love the mission based vids, and nice to see a Harrier one as well!
@GrowlingSidewinder so awesome you did this in a Marine jet on the birthday of my beloved Corps! OOH RAH!
*That last technical* - Temper, temper.
The Harrier just struggles against gravity. When I was a wee boy in the 80’s it was a wonder to behold.
Still is a wonder to behold ...
Always loved the Harrier. Such a cool aircraft. Great video.
Huey really embodying
"Enemies coming from that direction!"
"Affirmative, removing that direction!"
It's amazing how good you are with so many different A/C. Good job.
Great mission. Don't see much of the Harrier. Good stuff
That was a really cool video man. Well set up mission.
Wow, that was an awesome mission. I love the Harrier.
2:13 was a nice tail strike. A bit of downwards nozzle should prevent it but i think the Harrier is build to take it and even more.
Harrier was my fave at El Toro airshow
She performed her last air show earlier this year. Was privileged to see it.
@@jaylancaster5419 Me too!
Flying thru tracer fire! Landing rocket on lap thru windshield!! Just awesome!!!
Always an awesome sight to see Marine Air
Nice. We always got the Airforce and Navy POV. This is the first time i got the Army's POV. And the last shot was majestic
A moment of silence for the 3 students who died today, with their entire lives packed into a beat up white honda on their way to college.
I wanted to see you make a short landing at the base. Harriers are best known for their STOVL style.
the built in voice lines def give off huge anime vibes XD
Surgical with those unguided rockets. A+
Love to see more Harrier missions. That was awesome
I love the SFX of the infantry cheering on the low pass.
That Huey is brutal, absolutely filled the entire area with lead
Ambience at 2:30 really builds the tension :)
Normally all the CAS elements would be communicating and coordinating their attacks. Perhaps the limitations of DCS preclude this?
she's a BEAST. Great shooting.
OK, that was one of your best ones I've seen!
Nice shootin'! Nothing like a runway with some rolling hills.
The Harrier a great module
FYI, show of force we’re interesting, I saw one where the Talibs were shooting RPGs into the air at the F-16s. Low probability but never 0% chance.
Не назвал бы этот самолет самым красивым, но я им очарован с детства, почему-то! Возможно из-за боевика с Шварцнегером! Очень классный самолет, жаль, что считают устаревшим уже!
That windsock is blowing like there's a hurricane whipping over that airfield.
That runway looks like Lightning McQueen's first attempt at paving that highway in Cars
Thanks for the upload!!
This was freaking sick. You just sold me on DCS.
Now that was an interesting and unique mission, imho.
I feel like a pair harriers would have been better for that mission. You were stretched a little thin chasing car bombs. Fun story though! Look forward to more :)
Love this kind of scenarios, thanks!
Thanks for sharing the mission. Makes me want to watch your videos even more. 🤘
9:10 That air space deconfliction right there… dang!!!
"Have A November to Remember at the Kabul Toyota-thon"
Would ve cool to see uk Harrier vs Argentine mirage 3
Really enjoyed that would be nice to see more fixed missions like these please
They should name that mission "Toyotathon".
Wait. Tracers bounce off the ground that much? I mean I expect a few, but that was like 90% bounce rate off dirt...
And MRAPs are tough. Anyone inside that thing probably survived. They won't hear or see straight for a few weeks, but they'll survive.
"Lot of Toy Yodas, these guys have..."
Completely unintentional Star Wars pun
No t pod on the AV-8B, I guess. Excellent work, especially considering how primitive the sensors and EW seem compared to an A-10 or AH-64.
Sheesh, that VBIED...
Well, at least it was quick.
Beautiful mission! Please, do more like this one!
love these scenarios you play
Great, vid. Id love to see how other aircraft perform on a mission like that.
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 148
AV-8B vs F-35B for the USMC version of this fight
Should have made the victory convoy pass at 40kts!
Hell YEAH! I shouldn't have waited to watch this. Good show.
I don't think the damage to those Toyotas is covered under warrantee.
Harriers and A10’s saved my team more than once
You should've yelled 'Kobe!' before draining that rocket through the windshield.
(edited to correct a typo)
If the show of force isn't effective, obviously they just need to feel the force...
this was so cool to watch, like a mini movie!
Happy Birthday Marines!!!
This thing is like a T-rex, small arms but carries a lot with em.
great vid love watching CAS
that was a very cool mission! love that szenario
What a mission, good work!!
Day 4 of asking to do a 2v2 dogfight plz
I wanna see the benefits of wingmen when merged
True
He just did another one
already done it twicedummy
He did like 4 past 2 weeks 😂😂
Nice shooting GS! Now time to grab LS, and hop back on the huey shooting for more ROFL fun. =D
Could we get some F/A 18 Hornet or Superhornet action? Maybe some AA combined with AG?
That Huey was really a fire hose of lead.
Love the missions. Really wish there was something with B1 bomb runs.
That runway is crazy 🤣
Almost made me do a desk pop watching this ❤
