I want one, it wold make comuting to work so much quicker than traveling by city rail. Plus the benifit of being able to napalm someone's house at will...:yep:

It looks like the gear didn't lock upon landing and simply folded...from the footage it doesn't look like he hit the ground with too much force, if anything it looked a pretty good landing! I love the harrier...if the RAF gave me the choice of flying the SHAR or a Typhoon...I know which one I would pick! :up:

PRIVATE!!! jeeez someone is loaded with enough cash to buy a harrier.. and he looks like he knows how to fly the thing:huh: :hmm:What's wrong with that? Besides, he is an ex-harrier pilot. You can probably buy one of these things for $10 Mil. I know you can buy an F-18 or F-16 for about $10 Mil.

It looked like a pretty soft landing thankfully so the repair bill might not be that bad at all.
