You make good point Oliver. Perhaps these women wouldn't be Rangers or Special Forces but in a sort of Support role they may have tons of combat experience just due to the fact they may be considered easy targets.
This is why I wish I knew more about women in the Civil Affairs units. Still I'm sure if any of these women did a detail with a foreign military unit that could only add to the mystique and added language skills.

I was thinking of a team of just Joe Pilots. Something similar to the Rogue Squadron in Star Wars.
Started thinking about this when I looked at my Skystriker on display. I have Ace {v11} standing next to it w/ Ace {v9}, Ace {v10}, Slip-Stream {v4}, Wild Bill {v11-15}, Lift-Ticket {v2}, Barrel Roll {v1}, Air Raid, Tomahawk & Skydive {v2}. This is what I have so far: Payload - USAF Colonel Ace - USAF Major Ghostrider - USAF Major Boomer - USAF Captain {Bob Sirrom from the Night Boomer} Maverick - USAF Captain Countdown - USAF Captain Air Raid - USAF 1st Lieutenant {Wayne Ruthel, Ace's WSO} Kestrel - USAF 1st Lieutenant {RoC Ripcord} Slip-Stream - USAF 1st Lieutenant Space Shot - USAF 1st Lieutenant Barrel Roll - USAF 1st Lieutenant Tomahawk - USAF 1st Lieutenant Wild Bill - US Army Chief Warrant Officer, Four Lift-Ticket - US Army Chief Warrant Officer, Two Last edited by Darkhawk75; 11-29-2012 at 03:52 AM.. |

Yeah I was going to mention him since he's missing. Maybe Barrel-Roll but that's debatable, and Dogfight. What about the other Helicopter pilots?
Windmill; Updraft, Major Altitude (Should be Whirlwind), Glenda, Blades, Maybe Red-Zone if he became a Warrant Officer.

Speaking of pilots, I need some suggestions on a code name for a Marine helicopter pilot. He's going to fly my customized Tiger Fly.

How about "Semper Fly". I'm just kidding... I really couldn't resist.

LOL, that's a good one, Oliver! In all seriousness, I've been doing research on the 'Corps but I can't find any terms that really sound like a pilot's name. The only ones that come to mind are Devil Dog/Bull Dog.

I would lay odds on Israeli Army or Mossad having the toughest female training, but I don't really know enough to speculate beyond that
generality. |

This is just me running w/ my idae. Lol
I know Condor is like a Sergeant or something, but I was playing w/ the idea Captain of the Sky. Also I realize Altitude outranks Ripcord {even though I bump him up to MSG}, but that's my homeage to Skydive being in command even though Altitude outranked him. I kinda like it though. It also frees up the other pilots to fill just a Air Transport role: Sky Raider & Hot Jets - C-17 Globemaster III Skystriker - A-10 Thunderbolt Dogfight - either C-130 Hercules or AC-130 Spooky/Spectre Murdock & Windmill - CV-22 Osprey Daina {Vorona} - Mil Mi-24 Hind Chopper - MH-60 Blackhawk Updarft, Major Altitude, Blades & Hawkwind - either Dragonfly or Dragonhawk {RoC} Last edited by Darkhawk75; 05-22-2014 at 04:39 AM.. |

This is a pretty good setup. Is Condor the Brazilian version of Airborne? I may have put the lesser known characters in the less sexy transportation wing. But then that Transportation Air Wing would be boring.
I like Dogfights as a AC-130 pilot. I never liked Skydive being outranked by Altitude either. I made him a Captain just for that reason. I usually have Barrel-Roll as a LT with Skydive. I always forget about Sparrowhawk. I totally have to add that guy. Maybe Updraft could be Dragonhawk wing Commander and Kestral can fill the missing pilot slot.
