UK Sells 72 Retired Harrier Jump Jets For $180m To US -- BBC
Britain is selling 72 retired Harrier jump jets to the US in a deal worth about $180m (£116m).
The Harriers, which were retired last year as part of defence cuts, will be used as a source of spare parts for the US Harrier fleet.
Defence Minister Peter Luff said the sale was a good deal for UK taxpayers and would allow Britain to invest in more modern and capable aircraft.
Harriers will be replaced by the Joint Strike Fighter by the decade's end.
