Add two of my favorites:
Recondo, flying helicopters (7th Airmobile Assault Unit), and Keel Haul (F-4 Phantoms, USS Intrepid). |

Some of the Joes are enlisted men which would stand to reason that they should not have received any flight training though the military, but were sold with flying toys.
Pilots: Ace; Slipstream; Ghost-Rider; Countdown; Maverick; Payload; Keel-Haul; Air-Raid; Tomahawk, Barrel-Roll,(enlisted) Skystriker (Probably Space Shot as well, but he's an enlisted man) Helicopter Pilots: Wild-Bill; Lift-Ticket; Updraft; Windmill; Blades; Flint; Major-Altitude; Red-Zone(Enlisted); Steel Brigade Commander; Hollow-Point (Again enlisted man), Cannonball (RHINO Driver, but enlisted?). I suppose Matt Trakker can fly things, and I believe Bullet-Proof and Sonic Lt Falcon can supposedly fly the Desert Apache, but that was more gimmicky than official. Zap was shown to fly Helicopters in the Comics, and I believe Iceberg in the comics has a pilot license or something.

I had this same issue a while back. I was building up my fighter wing and realized there arent that many flight qualified Joes. I grew up on the comic books so thats my Joe verse. I just go with whatever Larry Hama came up with.
Ace -was the main jet fighter ace. He can fly any winged aircraft and in the IDW comics also flies rotory winged aircraft. Slip Stream- Jet fighter pilot. Ghost Rider- Phantom X-19 pilot. Mavric- Jet fighter pilot ( he was K.I.A. in the comics) Barrel Roll- Jet fighter pilot and sniper instructor (he was introduced in the DDP comics). Dog Fight- He's a Navy pilot and flies various fixed wing aitcraft. Sky Striker- was never in the comics but was a figure introduced in the Tiger Force series. Pay Load and Countdown- Pilot the Crusader and Defiant space shuttles. The chopper pilots are: Wild Bill- also pilots the C-130 constantly in the comics. Windmill- Experimental chopper pilot. Flint- Hes actully a highly qualifies Helo pilot and does it alot in the DDP comics. Lift Ticket- mostly the Tomahawk but he can fly any chopper. Updraft - Pilot of the Retaliator. Major Altitude- I dont think he was ever featured in the comics but he was available as a toy. Thats all I can think off right now. Edit: General Hawk also flew a Saber in the comics, he mentions being trained as a pilot at some point.

Blades was from the British Action Force. who is Hollow Point? I cant find any info on him. Theres no listing for a Hollow Point of YoJoe.com either.

YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Built to Rule Hollow Point
One of only 5 confirmed Marines. He was one of those Built To Rule pieces of crap, but a new character none the less. I forgot about Dog-Fight.
