The Harrier Jump Jet is used by the Armada Española (Spanish Navy) and can launch from their aircraft carrier Juan Carlos I as such speeds in seconds!
While preventative measures continue across the globe preventing the spread of COVID-19, NATO’s Harriers and their crews remain ready to deploy these hyper-fast aircraft when called to action. __
