Skystriker was Tan Grunt Dragonfly was Airborne Skyhawk was Duke (Not many guys could fit in that thing) Jetpack was StarDuster Tomahawk was Crazylegs. I use a lot of older versions of guys as pilots with different codenames. YOJOE.COM | Backblast = "Rotor" he's the Helicopter Assault Commander YOJOE.COM | Barrel Roll (as Cobra) = "Afterburner" pilot YOJOE.COM | Ace (Can't remember the name I gave him but he's the Navy Pilot) YOJOE.COM | Action Pilot = FlapjacK? (Can't remember either but he's the Joe Bomber pilot) |

Never had the SkyStriker or Tomahawk(always wanted it tho) but Airborne was the gunner in the Dragonfly most of the time but it would change based on the story.
In the comics the Dreadnoks were scared s**tless of Zartan so I think some crazy stuff happened off panel. |

I never had the Dragonfly, Tomahawk or Conquest as kids. Just a Skystriker and Skyhawk.

I couldn't agree more about Wild Card and his file card. I think that Wild Card, Windchill, Long Range, and Dogfight are ALL very underrated Characters/vehicle Drivers. I think they deserve alot more comic and cartoon love!
I also use Bazooka in my tank units because of his file card. I wonder Why heavy Metal and Frostbite were only seen for like 30 seconds throughout the whole cartoon... I use all of them in my armor units with Steeler. I love to look at the file cards to get a better idea of logical uses for the Joes. I love that Falcon and stalker are medics. Scarlet has sniper and ranger training. Great stuff to be found.

I was looking at the file cards of some of my 25th Joes and never realized how many Warrant Officers there are in the Joe ranks...Flint, Wild Bill, Shipwreck (CPO?), Torpedo, and more! I thought Warrant Officers dealt more with responsibilities of larger scale battle groups/units....

What scares me is you have a LOT of Sgt.'s and Warrant Officers - who are the low men on the totem pole?! I know Blowtorch and Airborne are pretty low.

Also, Duke's card says he's a Master Sgt. but the Joe's First Sgt. are they the same thing? And where does Rock n' Roll fit in as a Staff Sgt.

I used Airborne on both the Dragonfly and the Tomohawk as the "gunner"...On the T-Hawk, crazylegs was the other gunner and Lifeline rode inside for support...Sometimes I even used Wild Bill as LiftTicket's co-pilot...

I just drove past Aberdeen on the way home from Delaware on Monday. And my wife asked me what it was. I immediately thought of Hawk even though he is never referenced as being there.
I always saw Gears as the R & D head guy for the joes. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Gears Although so many of them have electronics backgrounds or are electrical engineers. But Gears is an Officer and that's his job. I consider Matt Trakker to be a 0-4 equivalent though. I recently won this auction and although he was suppose to be a MASK guy, I just got my new 25th Gears figure. GI Joe 25th custom m.a.s.k dusty hayes driver of gator - eBay (item 190278180215 end time Jan-11-09 12:48:46 PST) Yeah, I think of him as the head of G.I. Joe R & D, but I also just make him the S-4/G-4 (MATO) for the Joe Team. I figure Specialist Trakker works for him. It's weird that Hasbro names him "Specialist Trakker" as if a Spec-4 would head up a whole organization like M.A.S.K. Anyway, I let Gears and Matt Trakker run the Joe Motor pool. Someone has to keep the jeeps and tanks and planes and choppers running.

There are a ton of E-4's in G.I. Joe, but the lowest ranking member of the team is Ambush - he's an E-3: PFC
