Rare three-Harrier aircraft for sale

-

The three-aircraft package includes the world’s only civilian ‘jump jet’ harrier certified to be airworthy. In addition, the package also includes two additional aircraft; one TMK-8 dual controlled Harrier that is undergoing inspection for certificat­ion and a GR-3 Harrier that is almost complete and would be an excellent source for spares or for static display.

Along with the three aircraft, the package also includes: spares, support equipment, engines, manuals, rotables, as well as a travel support kit. The present owner will also provide his knowledge gained from 13 years of successful airshow performanc­es in the civilian airshow world.

N94422 SEA HARRIER FA-2 is the world’s first and only privately-owned and flown Harrier of any kind. It is extremely rare. It was built by Hawker-Siddeley, build number 912002, as a fighter / reconnaiss­ance / strike (FRS.1) naval fighter aircraft. Of the more than 45 different Harrier variants, there were only 76 Sea Harriers built. This one is the oldest surviving Sea Harrier and the second one to roll off the assembly line. The aircraft has been a star attraction at airshows across North America for 13 years flying almost 200 hours.

Sea Harrier TMK-8 is a very rare aircraft. Only 46 of the first-generation Harrier trainers were ever built and none are flying today. This is the only one in private hands that is anywhere near capable of flight and is undergoing inspection for certificat­ion. The airplane is virtually complete, with spares. The cockpits are pristine. The front cockpit is virtually identical to the single-seat Sea Harrier, as this was the Sea Harrier trainer.

There are many possible uses for this aircraft including airshows, training, flight experience­s, military contract work, advertisin­g and promotiona­l work. Harrier GR-3 is an almost complete aircraft that will be an excellent source for spare parts or to use for static display.
