Sorry if this topic has been brought up already.
I know helicopter pilot Wild Bill was qualified as a fixed-wing pilot as well; but I wonder if other Joes were effectively cross-trained to pilot other vehicles? Specifically, what all Joes (aside from Wild Bill, Lift Ticket, and Flint) were qualified helicopter pilots? |

Not sure there is a definite answer to this. The cartoon tended to let any Joe pilot any vehicle. The comic was a bit more consistent, but even then it did random things like making Lady Jaye and Ripcord be RIOs.

Primarily helo pilots:
Wild Bill Lift Ticket Updraft Major Altitude Windmill Other pilots with helo training Ace (v2 Battlecopter) Qualified pilots with other roles Flint Zap Recondo (TF Recondo flew the Tiger Fly) Spirit (v3 Battlecopter) Airborne was also a helo gunner, but may have some minimal flight training to at least get the bird on the deck in the event the pilot was incapacitated. |

If you follow the Sunbow cartoons then yes, just about any joe can use any vehicle. If you look at the sticker sheet for the 30th Skystryker, then Flint, Duke, Snake Eyes & Shipwreck can fly the skystriker.

A lot of us, even me, have stick time sitting left seat.

Per the cartoon, didn't everyone fly a Skysriker?

Also Glenda, Blades, Steel Brigade Commander, and Red Zone are listed as Helicopter Pilots. So is Hollow-Point but he doesn't make much sense. Cannonball can fly his Copter as well. Then in the early 90 when they weren't putting as many figures with vehicles, guys like Bullet-Proof had a training specialty for the Desert Apache. Not sure what to make of Matt Trakker.
For non-Rotary pilots that's another list.
