Where Have All The Harriers Gone?

November 27, 2007: In twenty years, India has lost half of its 30 Harrier vertical takeoff fighters. The Harrier has the highest accident rate of any jet fighter. This is largely because of its vertical flight capabilities, which give it an accident rate similar to that of helicopters. The U.S. Marine Corps has lost a third of its 397 Harriers to such accidents in 32 years.
