IN THIS VIDEO, this AV-8B Harrier is put through its paces in a demonstration over MCAS Miramar. You will get to see vertical landings and a vertical takeoff in this demonstration, as Runway 6L/24R is constructed primarily of concrete. The aircraft came from VMA-211, the Wake Island Avengers, who are based at MCAS Yuma, Arizona. The callsign of this aircraft was WAKE 11. Also, take note of the callsigns of the demo pilot and the callsign of the Harrier pilot on the announcer's stand with Rob Reider.
I apologize for any bad color and/or vertical lines or American flag intrusion that may or may not be in this video. Unfortunately there were American flags that got in the way of the video during some critical parts of the videos and I have had some camera trouble throughout the weekend.
If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
