At least the Corps policy is clear;-) They rather suck all redundant
Navy F/A-18A+/C than let themselves to be sucked into F/A-18E/F&EA-18G
programme. However, at some point that could mean the whole All-
Weather Fighter Attack (F/A-18D) community going single-seaters, and
vanishing of their recce/FAC(A) function.


Proper recce/FAC was abandoned when the Corp jettisoned the OV-10D.

There's actually been some talk in the USMC about reviving the OV-10
Bronco. See:
