DOGFIGHT
filename: King, James R Pri mil spec: fixed wing aircraft pilot Sec mil spec: technician Place of birth: Providence, RI “Dogfight” was his callsign as a Navy Top Gun instructor. Before he taught others to fly, he was one of the best aviators since the inception of modern fighter jets, his feats of some of the hairiest precision flying air combat required was legendary. Now a few years passed optimal physical endurance to take the fatigue of mach 3-4 travel, he flies a slower much larger plane, a C-130 SPOOK, built to GIJoe’s advanced specifications. It’s one formidable piece of hardware. And he flies the mammoth wonder of aerospace engineering like nobody else in the world could. From the flight logs of Lt. A.Verdi: “Most co-pilots are a back-up for the captain, just in case something goes wrong inflight. Not on the SPOOK though, Dogfight is in total control of the plane and always ready, no matter the air conditions. I’m just there to check the instrument readings and talk on the radio while he ‘keeps that lady in her place.’” yes that IS a tiny Mudfighter painted onto that patch on his jacket! the as-yet incomplete GIJoe pilots roster: Dogfight, Ace, Wild Bill, Ghostrider, and Cloudburst: |

it always annoyed me that the 1989 Dogfight figure had the same mustache and sunglasses as Wild Bill.

thanks, darth henning.
I always liked the driver and pilot characters, even as a kid, I was always happy that part of the line so diverse. Vehicles as a whole are okay but the pack-in figures just always appealled to me more. |

really obscure characters are fun to shine a spotlight on, a lot of them are wide open to reimagining IMO.
