Marina
version of the Harrier, here the twin-seater on the back-deck. |
|
|
|
Once
landed, take position, let the engine run ... |
|
|
|
Immediately
the AV-8 gets refuelled and blows the water away with his engines |
|
|
|
Lot
of parking movements, mind the wingtips boys ... |
|
|
|
This
day the weather was fine, the mood was good aboard ! |
|
|
|
Pilot
gets out, and every colour deck-guy has his own tasks |
|
|
|
Nice
view, notice the chains to avoid the plane moving from it's place |
|
|
|
Parked
along the side and on the back, the job is done ! |
|
Parked
on the very end of the deck it seems to fall off... |
|
|
|
But

|
|
|
Approaching
sideways first... and than to their spot to land |
|

|
To
be refuelled quickly and choose the air again |
|
AV-8B

The
centerfold of AERO Magazine |
|
|
|
Monotonous
? No ! |
|
This
one has two different numbers, very seldom seen |
|

Rainwater
gets blown from the deck, see left below where the plane landed |
|

The
dual-seater takes it's position |
|
|
|
|
And
nightflying is even more imposing in the moonshine ! |
A very busy day comes to an end. Let's go to next morning. See page 3 |
