Can we get passed this now?
While we can agree they arent as common as Black Hawks/Sea Hawks[or rather assume, as Im not gonna go into a big investigation] the fact is that they are still used. Whereas p38's[with like 3 left flying, today?] are not. Obviously.
Youre also using a number used by the US Army. Army =/= Marine. I couldnt find a specific number for marines, but yeah.
