Part 1

June 3rd 2026 AV-8 Harrier Sundown. Celebrating 55 years of the AV-8 Harrier VSTOL ATTACK!

First and foremost I would like to thank a lot of members in the Harrier Community for the support over the last 9 years. Big thanks to VMA-223 and others who made sure the AV-8 Harrier went out with a huge send off! I have spoken with a few AV-8A guys and a LOT of AV-8B folks over the generations in the last week and they all agree it couldn't have been better! I agree strongly.

In the images you see the final SSTO,Final TAV-8B pass,the final Section pass followed by the final Harrier pass including the TAV-8B where most Harrier Aviators started. Also the final final overhead break to land.
Part Two is coming soon.

Sundown ceremony images coming soon! Enjoy these from the evening before on June 2nd with VMA-223 Bulldogs were on time and on target for the National Anthem flyover at Walter B. Jones Park in Havelock,NC. Nothing quite like hearing the anthem as the sun (figuratively and literally) sets on the TAV-8B and AV-8B Harrier!

Remembering D-Day.

TAV-8B Harrier from VMA-223 Bulldogs getting a dreary morning flight with a lucky back seater! This bird was Modex 14 when it was with VMAT-203. Glad to catch this one airborne again.
