USMC Harrier Roundel

Post by Joecoastie »

Check out the roundels and markings on these USMC Harriers. At about the 55 second mark there are color versions.
Was this one of the US Naval Aviation Centennial paint jobs ?

I think it's a special color marking the last detachment as Harrier squadron before transit to F-35B:

That may well be, but the video was shot in 2013.

Seen this color jet on Fencecheck for some time. Nice vid, I will never forget how loud AV-8's are from my deployment to Al Asad AB in Iraq, late night engine ground runs were deafening.
