Marines and their families gathered Tuesday morning on the flight line at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma to watch an AV-8B Harrier II fighter jet with VMA-214, the "Black Sheep" squadron, demonstrate what to expect during the upcoming Yuma Air Show on March 14. The audience included Maj. J.T. Ryan, a Harrier pilot with the "Black Sheep" and his children Haley (from left), 5, Jenna, 4, and Jake, 18 months. Following a series of high-speed passes, banks, turns and ascensions, the jet demonstrated its famous hovering ability, during which a Marine snapped off a photo. All of the noise, however, was not to Jenna Ryan's liking, even if her dad is a pilot. Back on the ground and the show over, the Harrier taxies slowly past the flight line in front of families.

THE YUMA AIR SHOW is scheduled for March 14 at MCAS- Yuma. Admission is free.
