From an article regarding the first and only civilian owned Harrier:
"He described his airplane as extremely responsive, extremely nimble, and an absolute pleasure to fly. It is a thirsty bird, though, consuming fuel at the rate of a gallon every two seconds while hovering."
Fuel flow measured in gallons per second....wow.
Here's the video of the first performance if you're interested in such things....I've always loved these things.
