Art Nalls, a 65-year-old retired lieutenant colonel, may have given up flying jets for the Marines 20 years ago, but this gray-haired skybird still has the itch to fly. When he finds a retired Harrier jump jet for sale in England, he knows he has to have it. If he can make the deal happen, Art will become the first private citizen to ever own a Harrier.
