British Royal Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nathan J. Gray takes his final walk to the aircraft before his final flight in an AV-8B Harrier at Marine Attack Training Squadron 203 Aug. 5. Gray said he is happy that he is going to be known as the last British Harrier pilot. “This is a sad moment and a happy one,” said Gray moments before climbing into the cockpit of VMAT-203’s number 22 Harrier. “After I land that’s it; the Era of British Harrier pilots will be done. It’s very emotional but I’m honored I get to be the last.”
