I stopped buying comics in January. If the Joes are supposed to be a unit of "dead" soldiers, hiding an aircraft carrier and crew would be difficult. I don't really see the difference between a fighter jet and a helicopter personnel-wise. You still need a maintenance crew for both and helicopter crews are bigger.

But with a helicopter you don't need a runway, hanger, control tower, etc..

You'll need some type of storage/maintenance area for both. If they're flying AV-8B's and F-35C's, they wouldn't need that other stuff either.

True, the PIT and Terrapin provide the services for the helicopters. But the other logistically nightmare we ran into with the jets was getting them across the world, and in time to help out with missions.
Although IDW did show the Joes with a C-130, wonder where that is parked.

What I don't get about making Ace a chopper pilot is when the Joes were sent to and returned from Destro's castle in Patagonia, they were flown in a commercial lear jet looking vehicle...who the heck was the pilot?
Even with choppers, they can't make transatlantic flights or anything so they still need transport planes like the C-130 we've seen. Would've made more sense to have made Ace an airlift pilot. |

Can he not be both fixed wing and heli qualified?
Or does the comic somehow make him only a helicopter pilot? |

Comic hasn't specified, but I think they're leaning towards what Wild Bill was in the ARAH run.
Ace was piloting the transport that Snow Job was in, in Origins.

Okay guys, we have an oppotunity coming up.
I've been approached to talk to you guys, the filecard brethern (as Oliver likes to call us) and come up with a project for a blog/website revolving around Joe and filecards. It can be a format however we want, about what we want. Could pick a random card and dissect it like we have. Could take the conversations about which members are marines and do that. Round table discussion on why Recoil is a ranger. Is it something you guys would be interested in? If so, need a head count and can then can start brainstorming format.

I'd participate, but probably about as much as I do here (maybe even less in the next few months - we're getting ready to sell our house and move)

Where are you moving to? I'm in the process of buying one myself, in the "fun" stage of haggling over price.
