Instead Of Retiring, Marine Vet Starts His Own Harrier Squadron
Instead of retiring, former test pilot and real estate mogul Art Nalls imported, restored, certified and flew the world’s only private Harrier jump jet. Now he’s a man with a mission, adding to his fleet, he wants to preserve the Harrier’s legacy for decades to come. His amazing story is told in this awesome mini documentary from AARP Studios.

I agree with James. There are no clever people at the top. I'm a Pitts Special Aerobatic pilot. Putting aside the Harrier for the moment, the idea of getting rid of the A10 has to be one of the worst ideas in Military aviation. The Pitts cost me almost every last spare dime; but if I had the money, I would start an A10 Squadron. If you ever see an A10 fly, you will fall in love!
This guy must have more money than god. The cost of fuel alone!
Good for you man... good to see someone working to pass on the legacy of such a great and important aircraft.. be safe, hope I see you at an airshow soon.
This guy's the real deal
Of course the "clever people" at the top get rid of the A10 and the Harrier and replace them with.........oops.......nothing! Fools!
Incidentally I just listened to this interview with the real estate mogul himself:
