AV-8B Harrier Level III Demo

We’re excited to announce one final chance to witness the AV-8B Harrier Level III Demo at the 2026 Cherry Point Air Show before this iconic aircraft sundowns in June. Join us as we celebrate the legacy of this historic jet and give it the sendoff it deserves!

The AV-8B Harrier II delivers an impressive 22,000 pounds of thrust, allowing it to hover like a helicopter before accelerating forward like a high-speed jet. As the first vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft in the Marine Corps inventory, the Harrier revolutionized battlefield flexibility.

Designed for versatility, the Harrier supports a wide range of missions, including striking surface and air targets, escorting helicopters, conducting reconnaissance, and providing both offensive and defensive firepower. Equipped with missiles, bombs, and a 25mm cannon, it remains one of the most dynamic aircraft ever fielded by the Marine Air-Ground Task Force.

Don’t miss this historic farewell.
