Sounds like they could use some mercenary aircrews and airframes...maybe another AVG?
Who knows...a Harrier could look cool with a tiger's mouth painted on it.

This is a political push to get the F-35 going as Obama wants to cut it.

Damn shame really. The pilots still need to fly in order to maintain profienceny so they can easily transistion to their F-35s.

The Navy's Harrier Jump Jets - the aircraft that won renown in the Falklands conflict - are to be retired early i guess scrapping the scrapping plan is out of the question...

You mentioned that the Brits are retiring the Harriers. I guess the US will at some point, as well. It gave me great pleasure and pride recently to view a video of the successor of the Harrier - and THEN SOME. The F-35 STOVL. This aircraft does not do a vertical takeoff, but it does stop in mid-air and land vertically......and a whole lot more. Here’s the link. Thank God we haven’t completely thrown in the towel!

Seems to me that you can have one or the other: a big military, or a big national healthcare system. NOT BOTH!

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Will the Brit pilots have to be retrained to taxi on the RIGHT hand side of our carriers?
