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:

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.

If you read the article, the parts are already being shipped from the UK.
