Its ability to take off vertically makes it one of the most maneuverable combat aircraft in service, and it can zoom out of the range of enemy fire extremely quickly. The United States, Spain and Italy coordinated efforts to develop the AV-8B Harrier II Plus, which first flew Sept. 22, 1992. The AV-8B Harrier II Plus, with a more powerful engine and advanced radar and avionics, can operate efficiently in darkness and in adverse weather conditions. Currently, the U.S. Marine Corps is converting all its day-attack Harrier IIs into Harrier II Plus aircraft.BI221989 (c70-98-249)Maximum size:2868px × 2262px (~18 MB)9.5in × 7.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1970s-airplanes-attack-AV-8B Harrier II-day-dust-exteriors-flying-full body views-gray color-green-ground to air-hovering-jets-landing-landing gears-McDonnell Douglas-military-military livery-monoplanes-out of production-perspective lines-photos-right front views-runways-sunshine-takeoffs-tandem landing gears-trees-unpaved groundRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:AV-8B Harrier II
