Harrier “Jump Jet” Replacement

Not having anything to do with wildland firefighting but noteworthy by the coolness if it.

The plan is for the F-35B to replace the Harrier fleets of the US Marine Corp, Royal Navy, and RAF as soon as budget and production constraints allow.

Note; If you are going to pilot an awesome aircraft like the F-35B you might want to invest in inexpensive term life insurance just in case there’s an accident.   At speeds that fast, one wrong move and you, along with the plane, would be toast.
