COMMENTS: - - it was not exactly a soft landing, who knows what structural damage the cell has suffered, perhaps it was better to prepare a cushioned system, an inflatable type; cmq complimeti to the pilot x Accuracy

Good flight, but isn't it strange that they have a special purpose ramp to use in the narrow corners of an aircraft carrier in case of nose wheel failure? How often does this happen?

this Harrier project was waste of money; it has more problems per 100K hrs than any other aircraft. F-35 A, B, C gets little better but even more expensive
