You know, you're totally right. I was thinking of the British Harriers for some reason.

- astine 11y agoIt's also worth mentioning that the Harrier is an older plane than the A10; by around ~8 years actually.
- dragonwriter 11y agoThe Harrier is, but the thing actually in service (the Harrier II) is newer than the A-10. Harrier introduced 1969 A-10 introduced 1977 Harrier II introduced 1985.
- astine 11y agoOh, my bad thanks. Though I think my point still applies. STOVL is useful enough that they kept the Harrier around in multiple incarnations, since 69.
