I miss the sound of aircraft over head now that we are retired from the Corp ! Nothing like waking up to smelling jet fuel from base housing early in the morning. Who would of thought I would of missed it so much!

i was on board that beast for many harrier launch and recovery ops... turning them up before the launch is a rush and is somethin i miss... parking them under nvg's is fun too...

I prefer the British Harriers too. Until recently the variant AV-8B Harrier was the most unreliable aircraft the US Navy had, but it has become a very relible aircraft with changes being made to it.

wow, dont talk shit unless you know it...

the US navy doesnt use harriers, thatd be the marines

The AV-8B, has good systems etc, the only real problem is the range, It guzzles down fuel hence has very short endurance; other than that it is excellent.

I prefer da English Harriers

US Wasp class carriers are a bit larger than current spanish and british carriers

[SUPERSONIC301]

awesome!!!!

[wyldesyn]

the deck is about the same but we don't like to use the ramp because we like the extra room that we get from it. england uses a diffrent type of harrier it can go faster but usa can carry heavier loads

[csupra]

very cool, hope to see some video like this of the f-35

[fulcrum2004]

is the deck larger than English and Spaniard carriers? because it hasn't the final angle of the deck
