Guy's name is Art Nalls (Lt Col, USMC (Ret)). What an incredible story!

I wonder what the operating costs are.

All it takes is money.

Ya, but money won’t buy you a qualification to fly the things.

Fortunately Art has the bucks AND the distinguished military career.

With money, you can get the certification.

Interesting that it's a Shar and not a former USMC model.



The Jedi Master

The royal navy would like to borrow it as they realised that having aircraft carriers with no aircraft, was not a sensible decision.....

What a guy

I can't believe I missed this when it was posted. What an amazing story.

I hadn't seen it either. Thanks for bringing it back up. I hope to see one of those one day. Great story.

I only saw Harriers once. It was in 1983 and the Invincible was on a visit to Sydney. She was over the horizon for us in Cairns, but I won't forget seeing a bunch of harriers beating up Cairns in North Queensland.

This was as the Carrier Group passed by. We had a Leander in for a visit, I can't remember now but it was a Greek classical name like Aphrodite. A frigate. Boy those sailors never paid for a drink.
