Hasbro forcing Hama to use the new stuff got really annoying. I know the comic was really an advertisment for them, but by that point it had taken on a life of it's own and was more then just an advertisment.
Remember the appearance by Hotseat & the Raider with Stretcher? Just new people showing up and never to be seen again.

Not as listed originally in the filecards, no, but Hama had him piloting a C-130 in an early issue of the comic book (probably because Ace and Wild Bill hadn't been invented yet). He was never shown piloting an aircraft after that story, IIRC.

Must've missed it. I do remember Dogfight's first appearance in the comics, though. He was drawn like Slipstream ha ha. My theory is that Hama and the artist (I think it was Herb Trimpe) originally intended to use Slipstream in the role and had already written and drawn the issue, and the editors had the letterer change his name to "Dogfight" at the last minute to satisfy the licensing deal with Hasbro (I think the deal was something like they had to feature a new toy every three issues or so).

Dogfights is a blank to me.
Skidmark and Windmills appearance? Same issue as the Star-Viper. That was Windmills only appearance ever. Spearhead appeared in just an issue of Special missions and the bobcat looked out of place, lol.

you are right his filecards/biography have him as artillery I was remember this one though that came with the a-10 thunderbolt as the pilot. Whats weird is his filecard starts to lead you on that he'd become a pilot, which ends up with him being a Radar specialist...guess that was the extent of his "longing for the skys" That said I think giving him a classic Joeplane would still be universally recognized as Hawk if done right..for a custom so I just wanted to bounce the idea around here first

Hmm...that's interesting, I didn't remember Hawk flying a C-130. At least it's not as bad as the cartoon in which every Joe flew a Skystriker. That was just outrageous.
