TILLAMOOK, Ore. (KATU) — The Tillamook Air Museum is
set to welcome a new addition to its collection on Monday.

An AV-8B Harrier is set to join the nearly three dozen
aircraft on display at the museum.

The Harrier will fly into Tillamook between 3:30 p.m. and
4:30 p.m., according to the museum’s Facebook page.

After a few safety components are removed, the public
will be welcome to approach the aircraft, meet the pilot
and maintenance crew, and take photos before it is
moved inside the museum.

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) AV-8B Harrier II is a
single-engine ground-attack aircraft that constitutes the
second generation of the Harrier family, capable of vertical
or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL).

The aircraft is primarily employed on light attack or
multi-role missions, ranging from close air support of
ground troops to armed reconnaissance.
