Is that true, if so what is the guy in back doing? They said both seats are fully rigged to be the pilot too.<span id='postcolor'> The two seater's serving in the RAF are usually combat capable. In the old days it was due to the need for aircraft to throw against the Red's. The Hawks can still be used for Point Defense with a pair of 9L's strapped to 'em. The two seaters don't have to fly with two pilots in a time of combat, but it always helps to have an extra pair of hands. The workload in a Harrier gets quite high when your trying to toss LGB's and fly! And if you'l excuse me, there's a 7 hour A Team special on UK Gold.... Woohoo!
