The Marines use the F/A-18 Hornet and, for close air support in particular, the AV-8B Harrier. Both are slated for replacement by F-35 variants.

They also fly the AH-1 Cobra, which the Army already replaced with the Apache.




Is the Cobra still in service? I had no idea.


Yes, with the Marine Corps, as well as Taiwan, Turkey, and Iran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_AH-1_SuperCobra#Operators
