In just a few more years this is a sight that will never be seen again. My oldest boy caught self stimulating on a low level run during a det at Mountain Home AFB.

All honor to your boy
 So many of my favorites have ridden off into the sunset: F104, F111, F117, SR71. A10--still flying. AV-8B--still flying, but not for long you say. I am by no means a hater of new technology. I like the B2 and F35 very much. But they are so expensive, and so few, they just don't/won't get flown with the same panache that old stuff did. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks like it. Just forward of left horizontal stab. Yep! Enlarged the image and confirmed. OP- your son and I shared the same hangar, albeit a 'few' years apart. Semper Fi! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: VMA-542 by chance? It has a tiger tail, so I would say yes unless on loan from them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: VMA-542 by chance? Yup Tigers. He's done Spades and now his time at 542 is about up. After 2 fleet tours he's taking a break. Next up Barbie Jets....(UC-35) He's really going to miss grey jets though. Gaining an engine (which his old man is very happy about) but losing an ejection seat |

Just found out that his last Harrier flight will be flying the Harrier demo at Fair St Louis week of July 02-04 this summer. After that it's off to "Barbie Jet" land to fly the UC-35 (Cessna Citation).

You’ve noticed lived until you’ve seen a harrier drop his nozzles in a turn end up on your wing faster than you can blink.

Mark Clark has 3 of them for sale right now. Not only could you keep witnessing that scene but you could be the guy flying it yourself.

I knew he was working on the 2 seater, didn't know he had a 3rd. I belive he had an L39 as well. Saw the first one at the Cleveland airshow. It was about the only thing worth seeing there and made my day. |
