Going back a number of pages now there was some discussion over flying skills and Joe. I think it revolved around Flint and where his Flight Warrant experience came in. Here are a couple of things of interest:
Delta absorbed SEASPRAY as their flying squadron (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEASPRAY;
https://books.google.ca/books?id=oWi...adron&f=false;
and p. 67 of this doc
http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/doctrin...y/justcaus.pdf
which states "Within three to five days, even if Noriega were not captured, General Thurman recommended redeployment of these special operations units: one squadron of Army Special Mission Units, two assault teams from SEAL Team SIX, elements of Task Force 160, and one Ranger battalion. SEAL Team TWO
and an aviation squadron from the Army Special Mission Units had left that day" - note that the ref to the SMU aviation sqn is distinct from reference to the 160th (Night Stalker) elements.)
Meanwhile, SEAL Team 6 trained some of its operators to fly:

So I can see Flint as a guy who actually went from an SF Group (having been an Engineer Sgt in a HALO Team, then likely to a CIF Company) to Delta (thus explaining the hostage rescue situations) to flying in Delta's aviation squadron.*
