Probably someone who has combat engineering as his specialty. Zap might work.

So, I'm thinking, the RAM is usually shown driven by Rock 'n Roll, except in Sunbow cartoons where anyone can ride it. Is it realistic to think that an infantry machine gunner like Rock would be qualified to operate what basically amounts to a Gatling cannon on wheels? Or do you think he would have had to go through more specialized qualifications that are not mentioned on his file-cards?

Maybe not a formal course but like any weapon I imagine he'd need some training and a motorcycle license.

Does any timecard mention Hawk as a pilot? I remember several times in the comic books he piloted different planes.

I don't think so.

I think he only sat in the co-pilot's seat of the C-130 with Wild Bill as a passenger, not actually doing any flying.

I wonder with all the Jetpack backpacks we have seen what type of flight training that would require?
Hawk v3 is one of the early ones, besides Grand-Slam, and Starduster. But with the Sky Patrol set and Barrel-Roll it is quite a group. Did Resolute Duke or Scarlett or Snake-Eyes get one too? I am not even going to bring up the Skyhawk.

I remember Hawk piloting a jet and c130 (I think) it nothing in the file cards yet Hama wrote both. I guess jetpacks are a 3 day seminar not worthy of notation on a filecard

Yeah, Hawk flew a plane in issue #4 and gunned down Carruthers. It was a pretty big plane if I remember right. Not bad for a guy trained in radar.
Oh, and Stalker used the JUMP quite a bit in the first 10 issues, (again) if I remember right. I specifically recall #1 and #8. (He flew the dang thing without a hand controller! Maybe he used his mind.) Last edited by seaneley; 05-09-2017 at 07:33 AM.. |
