This video gives you an idea of how close the ski-jump of the aircraft carrier is when the Harrier starts its very short take off roll.

Vertical landing of a TAV-8B on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier can be quite smooth.
This was shot from the cockpit of a single seat Harrier already on the deck and BTW I was sitting on the backseat of the TAV-8B.

Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact!

When I called it in, Zoe at NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found. No door yet😅
