Generally its a mix if its a con set. So the six members plus 9 cobras. I would use skycreeper and 4 Air Devils and 4 Night Vultures. Or either create a new cobra unit for 2 of those spots or use Abutre Negro and Escorpio Voador as the two pack special. (Brazil had Sky patrol characters but only those two werecompletely different characters and kitbashes)
Although I tend to put all my airborne guys together in an expanded Sky Patrol.
O -3 Skydive (I promoted him why Altitude outranked him I'll never get)
O-3 Countdown as an Air liaison officer (I use Rollbar straight up)
O-2 Barrel Roll ( XO)
E-9 Altitude
E-8 Dropzone
E-8 Airwave
E-8 Starduster
E-7 Airborne (v1)
E-7 Sgt Six (v2 Airborne I use an extra Rollbar with a duke head)
E-7 Static-line (Cancelled Ripcord)
E-6 Manleh
E-6 Freefall
E-6 Ripcord
E-6 Sneak peak (RETALIATION 3pack Beachhead)
E-5 Crazylegs
I would add Cloudburst and Skymate if they came modern era.
Starduster, Cloudburst, Barrel Roll, and Spirit (he was an Air Commando) would also be great choices. That figure I showed was Tanker Cloud Strife's custom Ripcord. I'm going to work on a Skypatrol/HALO custom team with Marine Deadpool. Cloud Strife's Ripcord has inspired me to try and make that work. I'm thinking it will be divided into two or three subteams - forrest, jungle, and desert... but maybe an urban one as well. Small HALO/Recon units.

The comic that would come with the set would be about plane of diplomats that was shot down on a sight seeing tour over Mt Everest. With terrible weather closing in and making any conventional rescue attempts impossible, it's up to Sky Patrol to make the dangerous jump to find and extract the survivors before Cobra La does!
I want Cobra La to be movie accurate, but Sky Patrol I think would look good in a black and grey color scheme. Think something like Night Force colors, only a bit more black.
Practical? No, but I think that would be a cool set.
That's actually a really cool idea for a Con set. I might want a little more green camo, but I really like the general idea. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if instead of the Cobra-La figures, they just have us some more Oktober Guard characters.
