B-roll video featuring the AV-8B Harrier II aircraft while performing flight operations(short vertical takeoffs, hovering and vetical landings) off the amphibious ships USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) at sea.

The AV-8B Harrier II is a subsonic single-engine aircraft that constitutes the second generation of the Harrier Jump Jet family. Capable of vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL).

The aircraft was designed in the late 1970s. The AV-8B entered service with the United States Marine Corps in January 1985. Currently the USMC AV-8Bs are being replaced by the F-35B Lightning II, with the former expected to operate its Harriers until 2025.

  1. In such tight quarters it looks like you lose both legs below the knee when you pull the handle. Wow that's a ridiculously cramped cockpit. These guys, man….

  2. Our founding fathers would be disappointed in our military of today to allow the CCP to take control of our elections and worse of all our country, as of now our votes are meaningless , I never thought I would say this but I'm disgusted with our military and do not have faith or trust in them anymore, We the people are on our own to deal with these domestic enemies such as CCP Joe and Kamal toe Harris and the rest of the Traitors in DC.
