Hawker AV-8C Harrier 158387 USMC MCAB Miramar 2013

158387 started life as an AV-8A. I've seen photos of it serving with the USMC on board the USS Guam amphibious assault ship with Marine Attack Squadron VMA513. At some stage it appears to have been assigned to NASA as part of the AV-8C upgrade program and wore their colours for the rest of its service life. In mid 2008 it was delivered to the museum and subsequently repainted in its service scheme. This is how she looked in 2013 at Flying Leathernecks Aviation Museum, Miramar.
