The RAAF doesn`t have any Harrier Jump jets in its fleet.

I refer you to a website called hulu.com. They have videos of old TV shows and other stuff. Go to the Action/Adventure section and locate a video called Operation Red Flag. This is a trainiing exercise held every year at Nellis AFB in Nevada. The exercise has fighter planes and pilots and their ground crews from all over the world flying in mock combat with Red Squad, 16 of the world's best F-16 pilots. The British RAF pilots were flying Harriers. What can I say?

This myth seems to come up every now and then; I'll bet if you use find you'll see different versions.

I've heard it ascribed to the RAF Harrier, the USAF Stealth fighter, the French Mirage, etc. One version had the cops sending the Air Force a ticket, and the Air Force replying that because the fighter had an automatic countermeasures system built into it, the cops were lucky they weren't shot at with a missile.

All make believe, of course. It's on snopes.com as well.
