Jump jets into the history books

USMC has always presented a need for aircraft capable of being at the front lines with the tops. The first major usage was the Harrier. If you’re unfamiliar with the history I definitely recommend watching this in depth documentary. As we look back at this unique aircraft and the F-35B in its place the last squadron has had its sunset ceremony ending the era of the jump jet in US operations.
