ZD582 - BAe Sea Harrier FA.2 - The Ultimate V/STOL Jump Jet and First Production FA.2 Conversion

ZD582 - A closer look at one of the most sophisticated evolutions of the "Jump Jet"— the British Aerospace Sea Harrier FA.2 Currently preserved at the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum (NELSAM) in Sunderland, ZD582 is a piece of Royal Navy history. While the Sea Harrier earned its legendary status during the 1982 Falklands War, this specific airframe arrived shortly after. The History of ZD582: Built: Originally delivered as an FRS1 in May 1985. The Pioneer: ZD582 holds a special place in history as the first production FRS1 to be converted to the FA2 standard. The Upgrade: This conversion gave the aircraft the distinctive "bulbous" nose to house the powerful Blue Vixen pulse-Doppler radar, allowing it to carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile—making it one of the most capable fleet defense fighters of its era. #seaharrier #royalnavy #vstol #harrier #fighterjet #militaryaviation #coldwar #ZD582 #aviationhistory
