Let's not forget, the Harrier is British design. Any shortcomings in its performance can be laid at Blighty's door. :)

And it can halt in mid-air and do a very quick about-turn. No wonder the Italians also have some, :demon:

Actually, no. They have some Typhoons down there AFAIK. Just to scare the Argies. I suspect pilots and crew get rotated in and out of there on a regular basis, just so everyone can sample the delights of the Gentoo penguin colonies.

I should imagine the typhoons would have a field day with with the AAF.

Sorry, I missed the invisible past tense there. :Erasb:

Anyway, I've seen a Typhoon on display. An awesome looking thing, but it's the weapons and systems that are really impressive. They'd want to be, given how much each one costs.
