Yes that has happened as far as I know. I have read books that talk about the 8th Airforce and they have talked about it.

it's laughably simple to put a harrier into hover, there's a rather large lever next to the throttle, simply give yourself a bit more throttle (at the temperatures encountered in the falklands they sometimes needed full throtle just to hover), and to hover simply push one lever and it'll move all the nozzels together.............
I was saying it was hard to hover a helicopter. Flying a Blackhawk is really easy getting it to stay in one place is rather hard, the tail wants to dip and go left.

Some aircraft like the Apache have hover hold so the pilot does not even have to hove thing bird.

shame none of me school mate agree.....................
When I was your age instead of going to the pool on weekends I went to work with my dad so that I could sit in the helicopters and pretend I was flying. Dont let peers get you down, they just dont know what its like to dream of flying through the sky like an eagle and feeling so free. There is no feeling better except maybe good sex.
