The AV-8B (Harrier II) is an American modification of the Hawker Harrier ground attack aircraft, that entered service in 1984. The AV-8B is powered by a Rolls-Royce F402-RR-406A vectored-thrust turbofan providing a top speed of 1065 kmh and a range of 1000 km typically, depending upon load. Armaments consist of one 25 mm General Electric GAU-12/A Equaliser rotary five-barrel cannon mounted in a starboard under-fuselage pod and up to 10,800 lbs of disposable stores, depending upon operational mode, carried on one under fuselage and six under-wing hard points.

The T-45 Goshawk is a British-designed American two-seater land-based and carrier-borne basic/advanced flying trainer aircraft with armament training capability jointly manufactured by Boeing and British Aerospace for the US Navy, and based on the BA Hawk trainer aircraft. The T-45 was selected to meet the US Navy requirement for an undergraduate jet pilot trainer to replace the TA-4J Skyhawk and North American NA-249 (T-2 Buckeye). The T-45TS pilot training scheme includes advanced simulators and computer assisted instruction as well as training flight programmes. The T-45A is powered by a Rolls Royce F405-RR-401 turbofan engine providing a top speed of 997 kmh and a range of 1288 km. Two under-wing hard points and an optional under-fuselage hard point allow disposable stores such as light and practice bombs to be carried.
