AV-8B Harrier Level III Demo

The AV-8B Harrier II has 22,000 pounds of thrust that enable the aircraft to hover like a helicopter, then soar forward like a jet at incredible speeds. The AV-8B Harrier II was the first vertical/short takeoff and landing-capable jet in the Marine inventory. The invention of the Harrier has given the Marine Air Ground Task Force commanders the ideal blend of firepower and mobility. The Harrier is used for multiple missions, which include attacking and destroying surface and air targets, escorting helicopters, engaging in air-to-air defense, providing reconaissance, and applying offensive and defensive support with its missiles, bombs, and an onboard 25mm cannon.
