My son and I met Mr. Nalls at TOM several years ago, what a nice gentleman.
Thanks for sharing.

If it flies in the paint scheme shown in the article's photo, even better! What an attractive airplane. My wife isn't terribly impressed that I have three motorcycles. I wonder how Mr. Nalls explains THIS?

Is it correct to say that the Harrier is a fairly rugged and straightforward airplane to maintain (given the correct tools, parts and experience, of course)? I spent a night shift putting floor panels back on a cargo hold with an ex-USMC Harrier maintainer once. It was pretty mindless work, but he told stories of wrenching on Harriers out in the Iraqi desert so it was a pretty good night after all. From what he told me, it sounded like you didn't need much out in the field to keep them flying.

Mr. Nalls gave me the impression that the bureaucracy is a royal pain in the ass.

Eaa needs to check their facts as there are many privately owned Harriers, just only one flying.

Technically, this will be his third. He has a spare single seat Harrier in parts.
