 The U.S. Air Force, AV-8B Harrier Vertical Landing, at Nellis Air Force Base. An AV-8B Harrier, assigned to Marine Attack Squadron 223 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, tests the vertical landing capability on an Air Force flight line during Green Flag West 24-04 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, on February 15, 2024. The AV-8B Harrier was used to test the vertical landing capabilities to highlight the aircraft's versatility in supporting tactical joint operations. Green Flag West allows the 549th Combat Training Squadron to provide relevant air-to-surface integration training within the joint and now-allied forces that began in 1981 in a robust, contested, degraded, and operationally limited environment.
