Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
ACK!
I knew the EA-6B was stood down (more due to airframe fatigue then any desire to replace it I believe) in 3/2019, I also knew the USN replaced it with the EA-18G. I ASSUMED the USMC had done the same.
Since the USMC OOB already includes several USN only aircraft the fact that they're not flown by USMC pilots is irrelevant for OOB purposes.
But as one article pointed out, this does leave the USA in a pickle as far as SEAD aircraft goes. You may want to look into the F-4G Advanced Wild Weasel and F-16CJ/DJ.
