The AV-8A Harrier entered service with the Marine Corps in 1971 replacing other aircraft in the Marines' attack squadrons. Starting in 1979, the USMC began upgrading their AV-8As to the AV-8C configuration—the work focused mainly on extending useful service lives and improving VTOL performance. The AV-8C and the remaining AV-8A Harriers were retired by 1987 and were replaced by the Harrier II, designated as the AV-8B, which was introduced into service in 1985.

Martin. I think the glass is breaking down and has hairline fractures from the constant
sunlight and heat exposure.
