It's nice that we're getting a new Air Force officer... too bad he's another pilot.

Yeah, over half the Joe officer are pilots. We need more infantry officers or anything for that matter. How about a Fire Support Officer or Chemical Officer or just a plain old Infantry Company Commander? |

This would have been a good time to add a Marine Pilot as a VTOL expert.
Well another wasted opportunity. I've been using the ROC Rollbar as Countdown. I figure he chose another path as an Air Liason Officer that works with Sky Patrol. He has the tan sort of darker skin the original figure had. Sure I'm wasting a new figure, but Countdown was collecting dust.

The thing I really don't like about the PoC cards, they're to setting specific. I get that PoC has the 4 enviroments, but do they need to be mentioned in the file cards? Alot of card space is taken up mentioning the enviroment.
Spirits does it, Tomahawks, Beachheads....

That's all you don't like? No I'm kidding that's just one more sucky thing about the cards. Although it seems like the cards may have an extra sentence in there.
Is there a Jungle Pilot course? no, but i guess you could assume that he probably took the Air Force Survival courses at Fairchild Airbase And that he has a hard time getting promoted, although I like to think all the 0-2 in GI JOE are ready to be promoted to Captains.

"The Ghost Hawk swoops into the jungle to deliver the GI JOE Team. This STOVL [Short Take Off and Vertical Landing] aircraft doesn't need a runway..." So lets see, it can only take off in the snow and water, because it doesnt have wheels to execute a short take-off. Im buying 2 Ghost Hawk's and using them as VTOL-UAV's and that Captain Folger USMC can remote pilot at base with another pilot and Folger's can pilot the Tiger Rat for manned flight. Not sure if I can accept the codename yet. But I like the idea of Unmanned = GHOST pilot. Troop transports are reserved for Humvees, Little Birds and possibly a Black Hawk. ------------------- In other news, The GI JOE 87 commentary with Buzz Dixon is informative. Talks about the idea of support troops for Cobra combat troops. Also has a snippet of the origins of the Dreadnoks (Hama's not Ewoks) and a few other nuggets. IN NCIS this season an episode had a female suspect of Alison Hart... Lady Jaye. Re-watched "The Guardian" Today, found a Jayhawk pilot named Wild Bill, and an Airman Flint at the A-School. Ive decided in my Joe universe, Lifeline was part of a Coast Guard Jayhawk Flightcrew before he joined the GI JOE Team and finally, Stretcher is the AFSOCOM Polejumper.

Alot of people are leaning towards using the Ghost Hawk as a UAV.
Zuludelta retasked all the pilots as UAV operators, since his Joe doesn't have fighter jets. My new Joeverse won't either. There will be a couple of Tiger Rats but the majority of it will be Sky/Ghost Hawks.

Still not a big fan of the Ghost Hawk or Sky Hawk. Never understood how aircraft w/out wings are supposed to fly. It's basically a cockpit attached to an empennage. It has elevators and rudders but apparently it wasn't designed to bank or create lift!
