A few shots of a gorgeous Harrier doing the vertical take off and landing.

Sweet, I went to my 1st airshow a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there was no Harrier. I would love to see one in person. Nice shot's.

Really great shots.The Harrier seems as though it was pretty close to you.

The last time this aircraft demoed out our local airfield it was banned not to return again after torching up the tarmac as well as six f-15's Eagles with their vertical afterburner takeoffs during militairy exercises 2 years ago.:cry:

Great series, sweet little AC. Used to love watching them when they would come to Beaufort. One pilot was even nice enough to let me go up and take a look around. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, great images especially as its been a while since I saw one 'in the flesh'.

IMO this is one of the best aircraft we ever made and has proven itself in battle ~ just a pity AFAIK it was exported to "you" by license and not physical airframes ;)


That was a great meal ~ you must have a good set of pans :p

His shots were at 500mm.... So i would not say too close, but seams closer than most airshows :cool:
