marines use attack aircraft/helicopters whereas air force has attack/fighter/bomber/transport/tanker/s... , has lot more of them. role of mc naval infantry. lot of budget tied ground forces. air force's role air superiority. of budget tied aircraft. , golf courses.

air force has many planes marines don't...such f-15, f-16, f-22, ac-130, c-5, c-141 (is still operational?), c-17, e3 sentry awacs, air force one...

marines fly f/a-18 hornet, av-8b harrier, f-35b (marine short take-off/vertical landing version) replace av-8b, ah-1 cobra attack helicopter, uh-1 hueys, ch-53e super stallion, vh-3a vip transport, ch-46 sea kings, mv-22b osprey, ea-6b prowler, marine one...
