Nice team work and piloting skills

[Garry Russell]

Thanks for that Joe

Wow!! the pilot used his 'Jump jets'

What an amazing aeroplane...it can take off and land vertically...I'm sure we could use something as useful as this

Hi Joe,

Well what an amazing piece of film, it goes to show that all that practice landing pays off!

I did'nt know about that Stool so that's something i have learnt!, shows what a great aircraft that Harrier is as you could not land any other aircraft on a carrier minus it's nose wheel without a problem.

Thanks for the link,

Roger.

To be fair we've still got one of the boats.

That 'stool' looks a bit heavy duty Is it a 'fat @rse' American stool by any chance

How rude..

Probably around a million bucks for a stool. We Brits would've just used a sandbag. £0-75p from army and navy stores.

Well done the pilot but "... $30million piece of military hardware would smash into the deck of the ship" a bit of an exaggeration.
