As we saw recently, the two Harrier IIs sent by the Spanish Navy to The Royal International Air Tattoo had a great performance.<\/p>\n

At this airshow, one of the largest in the world, held at the British RAF Fairford airbase, the Spanish Harrier IIs received applause<\/a> from a British public that feels nostalgic for that aircraft model, and also they did a nice flight with an RAF F-35B<\/a>. Because of this, the Harrier IIs of the 9th Squadron have starred in many photos and videos of this edition of the RIAT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of those videos, published on July 20 by High Flight<\/a> and which I have located Today, he showed one of the most complicated moments that Spanish naval aviators experienced at RIAT 2023. On the afternoon of Sunday, July 16<\/strong> (the day the Spanish Navy celebrates its patron saint, the Virgen del Carmen), the Harrier II VA.1B-25 (01-914) had to interrupt the exhibition it was doing due to heavy rain<\/strong>. The plane made a vertical landing in the style of those that it usually carries out on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier \"Juan Carlos I\" L-61. However, the aircraft bounced on landing and tilted on its starboard landing gear<\/strong>, without major incidents.<\/p>\n
