I think it's more of a jet-pack with A cockpit than a plane. Although I imagine it would run out of fuel pretty fast.

No. The Recon Sled does not look cool.

I too almost got rid of the jets in my 'verse. Then I started reading some of the books previously discussed on the thread like "Kill Bin Laden' and 'Task Force Dagger' which really brought home how important Close Air Strike capability was to SOF and it's forced me to make a major rethink.
Reading about the Royal Marines has also mad me rethink the Joe armor and artillery guys too. Every time I get my roster and Table of Equipment close to completion, I'm forced to do a rethink. Ah well, half the fun.. |

I like to have some of the guys as Air Liason guys, but the Flagg is the Joes real Air Force. Still I have 12 planes so I can't just cast them aside. So they all can get pressed into service
I've had to add extra pilots including the Astronauts. Cockpit(Totally missed codename) Tanksmasher (That one's for you bud) Wash & Blip as Navigators Afterburner 2 Skystrikers 1 Conquest 1 Tiger Rat 1 Thunderwing 1 Vector 2 Mud Fighters 1 Sky Sweeper(2004) 1 Ghoststriker 1 Storm Eagle What am I forgeting? What about Air-Raid and the Sky Sweeper (Firebat)? Not sure about the Tigerhawk. How does that land? or the ROCC jet for that matter? I have them under Payload and Skystriker, But Ghost-Rider is the wing commander for the permanent Air-Wing on the FLAGG(Which I haven't decided is a full-blown aircraft carrier of Amphibious Carrier, or Submarine Carrier). Keel-Haul calls the shots. Payload rides a desk at HQ. Skystiker is deployed with the MCC and Armor/Artillery as the battlefield Air Support Commander. more of the Tactitian portion of his filecard. Tanksmasher flies his Tiger Rat. Ace is deployed with the FOrward Operating(Airborne) base in a Skyhawk. Countdown is the Air Liason Officer of that team.

I started downsizing my Joes into a smal elite force that includes all of the named Joes filling the positions but then decided that they became too restricted to short-time, limited-mission ops, so I'm expanding them again into something similar to a separate Heavy Combat Brigade Team (HCBT). The named Joes have a primary role as brigade team members but they also have a secondary role as special operators when needed. They receive airlift, air assault, CAS and attack/recon support from a Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) devoted primarily to them, as well as additional air and naval support from the the USS Flagg, whose secondary function is to support Joe ops.
So on large scale operations, guys like Grunt and Rock & Roll may be an Infantry Squad Leader and a Weapons Squad Leader respectively in one of the HBCT's mechanized platoons, but for smaller covert ops they may be tasked to infiltrate an area with a six- to twelve-man Special Operations Force.

I still have a hard time with the Joes Air Force, so I'm limiting it to the Tiger Rat, Skyhawks and Skysweepers.
Things that don't need runways basically.

Okay, kind of an odd question.
But which Joe would work as a trained Parkour if any of them. Kind of need it for a story. I'm thinking obvious choices would be Snake-Eyes, Quick Kick and Kamakura.

Give it to Quick Kick so he'd have something to do other than get his ass handed to him by Snake Eyes in his own specialty.
Part of me wants to say Stalker, since he had such an urban background. But it's not the right kind.

I'd go outside the box with Hit and Run or Alpine.

I agree with Blackrazor: Hit N Run would be a great choice.
