"Harrier Over Helmand"

[opelman]

Hovering Harrier by Treflyn Lloyd-Roberts Via Flickr: This was so loud... I can remember watching the Spanish Harrier display at Farnborough in 2014, wondering if it would be the last time I would see one fly - and a decade later they are still wowing the crowds. Seen here at the 2024 Royal International Air Tattoo. Aircraft: Armada Española (Spanish Navy) McDonnell Douglas EAV-8B Harrier II+ VA.1B-38/01-926 from 9° Escuadrilla. Location: RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire.

Static by Treflyn Lloyd-Roberts Via Flickr: Harrier XZ991 stands outside a hanger at RAF Cosford at the end of the 2025 Cosford Air Show. Fortunately, the rather large and obtrusive banner had begun to fall off the hanger door, making it a little easier to tidy up the background... Aircraft: Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3 XZ991. Location: RAF Cosford (EGWC), Shropshire.

This is a TAV-8B assigned to VMAT-203 in Cherry Point. They experienced hung landing gear (repeat gripe on that jet) and contacted base for troubleshooting. At some point, the squadron let the MAG CO what was going on.
