With a new weight and balance, all the panels and systems, including the electrical system, all functionally checked, and after numerous taxi checks, we were ready to get airborne. Our limitations were received from the FAA, and all the paperwork was approved, at least giving me a ‘learner’s permit’ to fly it for 60 days. Since […]

How we got to where we are, part VII
Our search for viable ejection systems presented a couple of challenges. First, no one wanted to touch this with a 10 foot pole, especially Martin Baker. After multiple attempts to persuade anyone to help us met with dead ends, I sent an email directly to Martin Baker. It must have reached the highest levels because within […]

How we got to where we are, Part VI
With a viable engine and airframe that would at least taxi, we knew we were getting closer and closer to actually flying. With the canopy and all the missing panels installed, it was time for more taxi checks, including engine acceleration runs to full power. The Rolls Royce Pegasus, MK 104 installed, has a hydro-mechanical […]
How we got to where we are, Part V
The first start was both good and bad. It was good that almost everything worked as it should. With the exception of the electrical system, all the hydraulic pressures and engine temperatures were normal, but the electrical system as not. Cory Duffield spent hours in the manuals and schematics to trouble shoot the problem, but […]

How we got to where we are, Part III
Once the SHAR was unloaded at Georgetown, DE in early 2006, we had a chance to really look over the airplane and assess the condition for flying. A quorum of mechs attacked the airplane and the publications, and came to the conclusion this was indeed a potentially flyable airplane. I suspected that all along, but it […]
Team SHAR returns from Drummondville, Canada Airshow
With capacity crowds both days, Team SHAR demonstrated the Harrier and the L39, for the folks of Drummondville, Quebec to help celebrate their 200th anniversary. Many folks had never seen a Harrier in real life, and a few had never seen one on film. They had no idea what they were in for. We overheard a […]
How we got to where we are, Part II
In keeping with Throw Back Thursday, here’s another photo and the story behind it, to illustrate how we got to fly the World’s Only Civilian-owned and flown Harrier. This is just after we completed the deal with Everett Aero to purchase the Sea Harrier, late 2005. You can see that it was basically complete airplane. […]
