The Harrier Rules The Planet™. :D
SERIOUSLY...! | {The Sandvich Bar} - Rhino-FS2 Tutorial | CapShip Turret Upgrade | The Complete FS2 Ship List | System Background Package

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

maybe not just highways,  either...

It was deisgned as a utility chopper AFAIK, like the Huey, and had to be pressed into the role of gunship, for which it wasn't suited.

A gunship with a side-by-side cockpit?

Venom: If you want a tank that can go under the water, you can settle for a M1A1, a Sherman, or even one of those little WWI boxes. This baby can move on the water, and it can come back out.:p

Oh that's good.  Most air warfare is not in dogfights now.  One plane that would rape the harrier:  F-22.

Yes it can.  Most of our planes can if needed.  Ever see here landing gear struts?  Navy planes can take a pounding.

Anyway we don't need highways when we have 2 Acres that can go anywhere in the world.

Austrian highways may be too narrow, but as for actual roads, that's one of the functions of the USA's interstate highways.  One mile in every 5 must, by law, be made straight and free of obstruction for the landing of aircraft in time of war.  So yes, US planes can land on highways.  And it'd probably be the F16 that Austria can't use; that thing is massive.

Lynx is still the worlds fastest combat chopper by a LONG way and the upgraded one is more capable then most other gunships other then the longbow and the eurocopter (tiger).

Also the f22 wont be out for donkeys by which time well have the generation 2 typhoons with all the bugs worked out and you still wont have your new short or long range AA missiles. (which we will and they will pween your f22 from over the horizon bwhahahahahahahaah).
