| henely , IA | I worked on the A version in the 70's, was is Powerplants. VMA-513 and VMA-542. It is called the jump jet, and also had the nick name of the widow maker back in those days. 04/16/2008 @ 19:27 [ref: 20570] |
| Play free game kanser youtube video , CO | Excellent museum and very well-staffed with people who know about airplanes, if you visit take the "boneyard" bus-tour from the museum, well worth the few dollars its costs. Plenty to see, easy to walk around the exhibits and photogragh, this museum has it all !!!!!!!!!. After that drive over the Titan museum worth the drive.Play free game kanser youtube video directory oyun adult porno sex shop image hosting

| ralph maccio Adelaide, OTH | Wow... that guy is a dipsh*t... I thought even grade schoolers knew Harriers use thrust vectoring. :D 03/03/2006 @ 21:17 [ref: 12693] |
| Sarge , FL | The AV8 series (A, B, C) is NOT in service with the US NAVY, but with the USMC. Any interesting facty is the C model was in service before the B was. The C is a modified A, whereas the B is an entirely new airframe, built of composites and aluminum.
The aircraft uses a SINGLE engine, vectoring its thrust through 4 rotatable nozzles. Only the media- and those who get their often incorrect information from that source- call the Harrier a jump jet; in fact, it is often viewed by the crews as a term of derision. The aircraft does not jump as much as it lifts off smoothly in all phases of flight, conventional or vertical. For the record, I was a hydraulics mechanic on A's from 1977-1982 and have several hours in the back seat of the TAV8A (the 2 seat trainer version of VMAT-203). 02/10/2003 @ 11:34 [ref: 6316] |
