Watch his helmet as he touches down and you see him bounce.

I can't imagine how difficult that must be. Good job, Marine.:up:

That was over a year ago, the pilot has probably retired by now :know:

She can take quite a beating, the Harrier, which is probably just as well because I think she killed almost as many RAF pilots as the Luftwaffe...

Fantastic aircraft but was a helluva shock to the system when first introduced. :doh:

Maybe so but it acquitted itself well in the Falklands dispute / war. It has stood the test of time as well. It's an iconic aircraft and it's longevity speaks well of it's designers. Easily upgradable as well.

Very difficult I would imagine not being able to see and putting the nose on the cart. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing :yep:
