If we could "confirm the Jag's usefulness" we'd have done it by now.

The Jag would be awesome in Afghanistan if it could carry a proper warload at the temps and altitude the Harrier can.

Gainesy: It would take just as long for a Jag pilot to convert to the Harrier as it would any other Ab-initio pilot from 19 i.e. about 15 months to day CR. With a tailwind and no other commitments
