So, I was having a drink and lunch with some colleagues 2 days ago at Williams Gateway, and there were a couple of USMC F18's that were taking off. It made me think about the F35... its being operated by the AF, Navy, and USMC.
Has there been any other fighter or attack airplanes that was used by 3 branches? I can't think of any.
The only aircraft (not helicopters or attack) I can think of is the C130, Gulfstreams (used by all branches including the CG for brass and electronic surveillance), but there may be some support/cargo aircraft I can't think of?

C-20 (Gulfstream III - recently retired) was used by all five I believe at one time
C-27 - Army, Air Force and Coast Guard
C-35 (Citation 560) used by Army, Air Force and Marines, not sure if Navy too

Also the 707 air frame used by Air Force (E-3, E-8, various C-135s and VC-137) and the Navy (E-6)

Thank you gentlemen. I didn't realize the Phantom was used by all of the main branches. Also the A7 is a good one along with the F5 and V22.
Also noting the training aircraft and Florida Metals extensive list.
Good stuff.
