Great and kick#%& aircraft and shows another perfect example of the USMC MEU(SOC)'s fast deployment to a combat zone. Hopefully it'll add more weaponry than just door-gunners. Or a Transport VTOL but with jet engines.
First of all, capitalize proper names like "Americans". It shows contempt otherwise. Does the Harrier have big propellers like that too? Can it carry a squad of troops? Oh, that's right, the Harrier is a jet fighter. Spotty 'erbert.
That's like saying every VTOL aircraft is a copy of the Harrier... Plus the Harrier was co- designed by the United States and the UK, so the Harrier in itself is kind of American...
Well this video was actually filmed at Aux 2, a training airstrip south of Yuma, AZ, and the strip is actually built to the scale of a LHA or LHD type ship, an an amphibious assault ship, so they were actually performing the type of take-off they would do from that.
The harrier was actually made by what is now BAE systems, in the UK.
McDonnell Douglas (US) applied for a contract to modify and build the harriers for and in America, just like the f35 but the other way round.

Vertical take off? They can only take off vertically or show me a vid of taking off horizontally, it'll make an entertaining video.

that wasnt a vto that was a short take off. still impressive though. also, i think the americans copied the harrier a wee bit with this.

"Plus the Harrier was co- designed by the United States and the UK"
The Harrier was designed entirely in the UK by the Hawker Siddeley aircraft company. It was not "co-designed".

Unless he was referring to the AV-8B Harrier II, which was designed by McDonnell-Douglas with help from British Aerospace.

designed by? no
upgraded, yes
it is almost indistinguishable from the gr-1 - that's hardly a designation of new design

is it normal for them to just hover there, messing around, before they land and then take off again, like happened in this video?
