Mark80 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Love the Harrier. What an awesome jet. Too bad the F-35B has so many issues. Edited June 27, 2014 by Mark80
mrags Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Pretty cool but the way he makes it sound is that it's not that impressive. Said he never even saw the stool so it's not like he lines that up. The crew in the ship simply placed the stool ok the spot that he said he always lands on. A little steadier hand I guess when lowering the aircraft maybe.

Acantha Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 CV-22s have piles of mattresses ready for the same purpose.
The Wiz Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 R & D for that stool cost about 20 billion. Pretty sweet though. Would have been screwed if he wasn't flying a harrier.
