I was wondering why we’ve already give up on the harrier.


Well, it's a jet from the 60's, can only scrape mach 1 on the downhill, is in a CAS role, primarily. Cool jet, but it's old tech.


The Harrier is obsolete.


It was deafening too many pilots and Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrop needed more money. /s

The F-35B can also do Mach 1.6 and the stealth thing.

Some country should give that Pepsi contest winner a demil Harrier in lieu of Frontier Airline miles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_v._Pepsico%2C_Inc.
