AV-8B Harrier II+

Air & Space Museum

AV-8B Harrier II+

The Harrier II first flew in 1981 and joined the Marine Corps in 1985. With four exhaust nozzles that can rotate from horizontal to vertical, the Harrier can “jump” off the ground in a short take off run or can even take off and land vertically. It can carry a wide array of bombs, rockets and missiles on six underwing hard points, plus a 25mm rotary cannon with up to 300 rounds of ammunition. Fully loaded, a Harrier carries more firepower than a World War II B-17 Flying Fortress bomber!

This Harrier on display at the Air & Space Museum has seen combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and the Red Sea, and has the 3rd highest number of combat hours of any Harrier. It is on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Grumman F-14A Tomcat

The F-14 Tomcat played a leading role in the 1986 movie “Top Gun.” The Navy needed an airplane to protect its surface fleets from hostile aircraft and anti-ship missiles at long range. After a naval version of the Air Force’s F-111 fighter bomber proved was unsuitable for aircraft carrier operations, its radar and long-range AIM-54 Phoenix air intercept missile systems were transferred to an entirely new design, the F-14.
