[QUOTE="FLYIN, post: 8875612, member: 21018"] The Marines currently operate the F/A-18 C and D. There are some A+ out there as well. The have opened the pipeline for current Hornet and Harrier pilots to train and transition to the F-35. Marine Corps and well the government in general has a hard on for the JSF. The JSF is not operational by any means yet, but they have to start getting guys trained up to be future evaluators and instructors though. Much in the same way that they had to start training up guys for us skid kids in the 4 bladed Cobra and Hueys a few years ago. I'd say you will start seeing JSF's in the Marine Corps in the next 3-5 years. Its all speculation though. Any time you have a new airframe you will have set backs. The 4 blade Cobra Zulus are still pretty far off, while the four bladed Yankees are very much in the process of replacing the UH-1 Novembers. If you ask me, we should have at least bought the F/A-18 F to replace our F/A-18 Deltas just because of the mission set we ask them to do, I think you need that extra person in the cockpit. [/QUOTE]
