Jack Sawyer Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Beautiful shots Iain, sorry about that last one. I had my very own, personal, just for me Harrier air show when I was stationed in Idaho. We were having an exercise so no one was allowed on the flight line. The flight chief told me and only me to go to a plane for something. I was halfway across the immense flight line when all of a sudden three Harriers came in for a landing. They were making a normal approach, not vertical. Yet when they saw me they all stopped in mid air and rotated their planes around 360 degrees and then went on to land. It took a while to pick my jaw up off that flight line.

bvdboomen Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just wonderful! Oh I miss a good Harrier for 64-bit P3D. Razbam had a decent one but never recompiled it for 64-bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Great shots, as usual Iain... It seems you really hit the runway.

John Mac Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great shots Iain and what a fantastic piece of engineering the Harrier was. Got to see one doing similar approach as yours not more than 1000 ft from me at Baldonnel outside Dublin.. It landed without bursting into flames!!!!! Enjoyed the story. John.

Iain Emms Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thank you John, The first time i saw the Harrier was when i was an apprentice in the shipyard at the launch of HMS Invincible in the late 1970s they did a fly past then bowed their noses towards the ship it was quiet a sight. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
