J.O. Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Another one for those who say "it can't happen". Long landing leaves jet off runway at N.Y. airport An AV-8B Harrier attack jet from Cherry Point experienced a long landing and ran off the runway at the Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y., Friday at about 6 p.m. There were no injuries to the pilot or ground personnel. The single-seat aircraft assigned to Marine Attack Squadron 231, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing based at MCAS Cherry Point, was conducting training in the area. The cause of the mishap is currently under investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boestar Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The Harrier is actually classed as a STOVL (short take-off vertical landing) as it cannot take off vertically at max gross. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
