EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the McDonnell Douglas-BA AV-8B Harrier II, a vertical takeoff and short takeoff jet aircraft, in service with the United States Marine Corps during the late 1980s or early 1990s. The specific aircraft depicted is identified by its base code "GG" and call sign "03," belonging to VMA-231, a Marine Attack Squadron. The Harrier II, serial number 163673, is a variant of the AV-8A Harrier, which was the first jet aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). This revolutionary design allowed the Harrier to operate from small, unprepared landing sites and aircraft carriers, expanding the capabilities of the Marine Corps. The AV-8B Harrier II was an upgraded version of the Harrier II, featuring improved avionics, weapons systems, and engine performance. The image captures the power and agility of this iconic aircraft as it prepares for takeoff, leaving a trail of exhaust in its wake. The AV-8B Harrier II served as a workhorse for the United States military for decades, and its legacy continues to inspire advancements in military aviation.
