The closest US aircraft that looks like the Harrier would be the US Navy A6 Intruder; a Vietnam War all weather medium attack bomber. The Intruder (See film: Flight of the Intruder) has a side by side pilot and co-pilot (like sitting in a car), whereas the Harrier does not. Both aircraft have the same style wings, both aircraft have engine airtakes sticking out on both sides of the pilot's cockpit, and both aircraft are Navy carrier planes (except the RAF Harrier GR3-GR9, which have been removed from active service, the GR9 replacing the Sea Harrier).

Watch the movie True Lies and you will see what a USMC Harrier looks like. The British Navy uses the Sea Harrier, and the Spanish Navy version is called the Matador, but they are all similar in appearance. Distinctive features are bicycle landing gear and outrigger wheels like the B-52, and two vector-thrust jet outlets on each side of the fuselage.
