No, it’s a scary machine with a really high mishap rate. The only dispersion of duties was trying to get enough flight time to be current when the jets are constantly down for maintenance. a lot of Harrier guys were getting third world amounts of flight time compared with their conventional tac air counterparts.
No kiddin. Would not have been my first choice if I had the dough for a jet. Cool plane though. My sister use to fly them for the USMC.
