WATCH: Harrier Jump Jet in Action
The Harrier is a legacy piece of British jump jet ingenuity that is still turning heads – despite the fifth generation F35-B fast eclipsing its military use in the US, Spain and Italy. Its vertical or short take-off and landing capabilities mean it can operate from small aircraft carriers, large amphibious assault ships, and simple forward operating bases. Watch while US Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers conduct flight operations aboard the USS Wasp while under way this year in the Atlantic Ocean.
