i agree, in part...the concept of the harrier is intriguing, but ive read numerous reports that state the military has limited training flights due to budget concerns, and if a pilot doesnt get a whole lot of hrs behind the stick of the harrier its next to impossible to stay proficient, and because their training hours are cut back so badly alot of pilots are getting hurt or worse behind the stick,,,granted the scenes in true lies with arnold piloting made for great visuals, but comeon,,how can you not respect a plane that can have an engine shot off, half it's tail,half a wing, and still bring it's pilot home in one piece,,,,hell i want a titanium bathtub for the apartment just in case i start taking flak besides, theyre so dammed ugly and ungainly looking, you got to love them.......it's like oscar, the dog in my profile picture,,,he is ugly as sin and i adore him, partly because of his looks
