Yeah I've forgotten how much we've talked about Flint over the years. Although it would be unrealistic for him to maintain proficiency in both an SF and Aviation MOS, it just seems like a waste to keep him in the cockpit only. It is interesting that there was a real person who followed a similar training route, which serves as a realistic basis for Flint's training. -----MACV-SOG: A Unit of Modern Forces Living History Group -----

Remember in G.I. Joe #1 where they tapped Zap as the helicopter pilot and mentioned "it's just like riding a bike, never forget" or something?
That's how I picture it with Flint. All his training was "after hours", so to speak. Private time, leave, etc.. So he didn't get it though the Army, it was his own training. Not something keeps completely current with. He views it as a last ditch thing, if their pilot goes down, he still wants to be able to evac.

Who else have we seen pilot anything (not in the cartoons obviously) Flint Lady Jaye Zap Hawk (C-130 Pilot) Snake Eyes (Had an Apache hidden in his compound in the Devil's Due run) Barrel Roll (who I use as a Special Tactics Officer) Scarlett ??? |

Scarlett flew as Wild Bill's gunner in the Marvel comic in the Snake Eyes origin story.
Zap flew a Dragonfly in Zartan! as well. Hawk serves as Wild Bill's co-pilot in Special Missions #1. i think Lady Jaye only flies as Ace's RIO. Ripcord is also a RIO for Ace in the comic in one story. |

IIRC, Scarlett, Doc, Duke, and Rock 'n' roll have all been shown as gunners/front seaters in Dragonflies besides Airborne, who was shown piloting a Dragonfly in issue 40. Lady Jaye was only ever shown as a co-pilot or a RIO, not flying an aircraft as the lead pilot.

Duke rode the front seat in #29, Airborne was the gunner in "Zartan", #25. Doc is in front twice-in #17 and #28. Hawk also rides in the front seat a couple of times, but it was before the Tommahawk was introduced and he needed to be flown somewhere, usually the Pentagon or the Gulf of Mexico.

Duke also piloted the Sky Hawk in it's single appearance in the comic, when the Joes had Cobra Commander prisoner in the Rockies.

That said, I'm in the minority here in the "filecard thread" cause I don't group the Joes into their respective branches and special operation teams. I don't have navy joes, army joes, marine joes, etc... They're all just Joes.

This week I watch the G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra movie again. When it was about to come out,there was a teaser where you saw General Hawk and James McCullan talking in Nato. I think both Zartan and Cover Girl were there as well. But that teaser never made it into the movie,but it did in the book. When Zartan,
Baroness and Storm Shadow raided the Pit,Zartan kills Cover Girl. As she is dieing,he whispers You see? I said I would see you around. I wonder if anybody else missed that? |
