Great video, my wife showed me it yesterday. Never served on Gators so not much experience around Harriers. We did have an H-46 that had to land on a stack of mattresses on Connie once after the pilot tore the gear off on the round down. Not sure why she was making a "running" approach when she did it, but that was something else to see, all those Navy mattresses stacked up and her gently setting that Phrog on top of them.
Thanks for sharing Tom. Had no idea that such a thing existed. One advantage of a vertical landing aircraft I suppose. Sure beats crashing.
