Hmmmm...... This wasn't the impression I got when I was reading the army
lists. Aren't the Space Marine and IG infantry and armored detatchment
lists titled as either SM or IG? The flyer selection is simply titled
"Imperial Flyers."
With the new organization of the human armies, I took this to mean that these
were flyers that any Imperial force could use as their own. Thus if the
Marines want to use thunderbolts then the planes are marine thunderbolts.
This would go along with the old Marauders and Thunderbolts, which were
split color units.
If this isn't the case then Thunderhawks would be IG units as well, as they
are on the same list with the other human fliers. This would seem very odd,
as the description of Marine armies includes a section on "Marine THawks."
