Hello to all. I was disappointed to see that, except for a brief mention of the use of the Harrier and Sea Harrier during the Falklands war, there is nothing about the operational career of the Harrier family (deployments to Germany during the cold war, Falklands War of course but also Gulf War and probably also former Yougoslavia and Kosovo). I haven't got enough material for references but maybe one of the article's contributors could help? Best regards, -- Domenjod ( talk) 08:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
"The Marines Corps' concept for deploying the Harriers in a land-based expeditionary role focused on aggressive speed. Harrier forward bases and light maintenance facilities were to be set up in under 24 hours on any prospective battle area. The forward bases, containing one to four aircraft, were to be located 20 miles (32 km) from the forward edge of battle (FEBA), while a more established permanent airbase would be located around 50 miles (80 km) from the FEBA.[119][N 14] The close proximity of forward bases allowed for a far greater sortie rate and reduced fuel consumption.[119]"While this is for the first-generation Harrier, I believe the Marines utilized the Harrier II in the same way, and probably intend to use the F-35 in such a way too. Of course, both newer aircraft are much more capable, so they can be used in other roles too. - BilCat ( talk) 15:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Shouldn't the SC.1 be mentioned in the development section, as the Harrier owes a much to its development? -- 82.21.97.70 ( talk) 04:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Favonian ( talk) 19:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Harrier Jump Jet → Harrier jump jet – This "informal" name, as the article calls it, is not a "proper name". It's most often lowercase in sources. Per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS, we shouldn't be capping. Dicklyon ( talk) 19:57, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Should this merge or redirect with the Hawker Siddeley Harrier page

SRVL is not the preferred technique for USMC operations, where LHA/D landings are always VL. Preferred technique on shore is FNSL, with PNB (suggest add a mention of PNB when discussing nozzles' ability to rotate to 98 degrees). SRVL appears to be UK/EU-specific.
