RAF Harriers over Afghanistan

this one goes out to MarineGunrock

No upvote from me because there was a lack of VTOL clips - the one thing that the Harrier can do that few other jet fighters in production can do (one of the F-35 Lightning II JSF variants was supposed to be a VTOL-capable fighter to replace the F-16, F/A-18, A-10, and the Harrier... the F22 Raptor still outclasses it in many respcts). Granted, the Harrier can only hover for about a minute before the engine overheats...

Hard to believe that the Harrier's design is almost 50 years old...
