The British government has scrapped the Harrier fleet and on their farewell formation flypast over the Houses of Parliament they gave the government a message.


My hat is off to the man that was leading this Squadron.

Is it real? Absolutely fantastic if it is...What an appalling decision to scrap a fantastic piece of engineering.. Especially with the Argies getting in a tizz again.
 

Nice, but the harriers are long gone now, US Marines bought them, originally for parts but I think they thought they were so good they're going to keep them.

Good enough for the military superpower USA but not good enough for us.

Still drive past the gate Guardian at Wittering.

They were good but expensive to maintain. The new JSF (F35) will be awesome when we get it working properly....
 

Heard the US Marines are flying them. Flew a limited sim of the JSF. Absolutely staggering if it works the way the sim does.
 
Well, we have to make sure we've got the very best aircraft to compete in the skies over Afghan with those pesky taliban aces

I used to prefer the Tonkas to the Harriers to be honest. Harrier pilots are right prima donnas.

Anyway, Typhoon is where it's at right now. I'm posted to the OCU when I finish out here at the end of July. Could have been a lot worse.
