Generic Rattler pilots appear in the comic in #36 in the story where Torpedo and Snow Job investigate the tiny atoll where Cobra are based as the GI Jane does battle with Rattlers and the Flagg shows up at the end, after the Jane is sunk. They also appear in the creation of Cobra Island storyline (#40 and #41). Another appears in Yearbook 3 as the Oktober Guard and Cobra fight for control of the laser weapon.
Firebats are supposed to be standard issue as part of the Terrordromes, according to Serpy's sales pitch to the Sierra Gordo military dictatorship when the 'drome was finally named and established as mass-produced. He also states that they're VTOL, although one is seem landing conventionally at Springfield airport after flying their from Cobra Island on autopilot after being launched by Prof. Appel, carrying an unconscious Ripcord. So it seems there's as many Firebats as Terrordromes and Cobra were mass producing them and selling them to every two-bit dictator who'd buy them - they're seen in Sierra Gordo (only one), South-East Asia (location unknown, the Joes had some how lured out the Firebat and captured it before the story starts (SM #4), the Mid-East (Colonel Sharif's nation SM #14) and in large numbers in Frusenland in 'Cold Snap' (#68).
I'd say going on the SM issue with Slipstream VS the Strato-Viper (#5) and the issue with the Joes' aircraft VS Cobra (SM #28), the line is Star-Viper -> Strato-Viper -> AVACs -> Rattler pilots/anyone else. The Star-Viper acts superior to the Strato. The Strato acts superior to everyone else. They're both augmented surgically, compared to the regular Cobra fly-boys.
