With all the heady topics being discussed, I though we might need a daily, fun diversion. I know this was an idea for a website (Joeaday), but here goes. I’ll post a daily Joe picture to this thread around 8am Eastern. Jump in comment...thoughts, memories or comments. Just for fun. If you miss a day, still post just quote back to the pic your are commenting on. If I don’t post a pic by 8:30AM Eastern, feel free to jump in front of me and post a pic (try to keep to one a day). I’ll keep it up for a month and see where it goes. Just trying to have some fun. Yo Joe!

Airborne was my first 83 Joe. The sculpt details and colors jumped out compared to the OG13.
Did Sunbow base the episode about Airborne’s brother on the last line of the file card? Joe artwork is so great. Thanks to Carson for preserving it. I mean as a kid, looking at the back of the card at the other figures Art was maddening. Who do I want next? Can I get mom or dad to buy it for me or do I need to save up $3 bucks myself. As kid, getting just one figured offered so much enjoyment. Today we buy them all so quickly. |

Why is Airborne called a Helicopter Assault Trooper when he's not, he's a paratrooper?

I have no clue. Is that an MOS that Hama/Rudat made up? Maybe to tie him to the second seat in the Dragonfly. His art makes him look like he’s fast roping from a chopper. Certainly not the Dragonfly.

Airborne was my favorite 1983 Joe. I've always felt Airborne was ahead of his time. I still think of him as an 84 or 85 Joe. Don't know why. But every time I look back I'm like, "Oh yeah! He came out in 83!"

Airborne has always been one of my favourites - I always loved his colours, and I think issue #31 of the comic being one of my favourites, really endeared me to him. Alas, I never did have the figure, but I really hope he gets a great Classified rendition!

I never had the Airborne action figure, but always thought he was paired best with Wild Bill in the Dragonfly. His role in ARAH #31 was what I remember him for the most, but that is one of the "perfect" issues from the original run in my opinion. I liked the Sunbow version, too, but would've liked to see him in stories that didn't involve his psychic kid brother.
