US Marines kjøper Royal Navy`s 75 Harriers

Britain's Harrier jump-jets reprieved to fly and fight again
With the US Marines, though. They're not stupid.

So the decision to scrap the Harrier looks like a very foolish one indeed from a British viewpoint. Still, it's an ill wind which blows nobody any good, and plainly the US Marines can't believe their luck.

 

Enig, kjempekjøp antakelig. 74 maskiner kjøpes med reservedeler. Formasjonen over var de 16 som tok en tur over hele landet da nedleggelsen av Harrierskvadronene og hangarskipene var et faktum.
