Spied on US I-20 Today....

[Mike Cecil]

Well, travelling the roads of the USA always reveals some interesting traffic. Today, heading East between Midland TX and Ft Worth TX, was no exception. Quite a number of civilian semi-trailers hauling US military equipment of all types: Humvees, 8x8 HMMTS(?), semi trailers, semi-tractors, USMC containers, etc.

But the really curious sight was the FIVE British Harrier jets: one Harrier fuselage per semi-trailer, and one wing-section per semi trailer, heading west. Still with grey/green camouflage and British roundels. At 75mph, I didn't get the chance to see any Brit reg numbers, but someone must know the 'what, why, and to who' of this rather curious group of aeroplanes now 'gone west' and resident in the USA....

Any thoughts on this, anyone?
