The Harrier

[James Snover]

Everyone knows the Harrier, the fighter jet that can take off and land vertically, famously used in the USMC.

But what you might not know is, that jet was named after the real bird fo prey, the Harrier. Which, like the fighter jet, is the only large bird of prey that can take off and land vertically. So they named the fighter jet after it.

Happy April Fool's Day, SVTP.

But the prototypes and test aircraft was known as the Kestrel though and changed the name when it finally got adopted as the GR 1 Harrier.
