After years finally picked up a original Skystriker just wondering who do you guys have in the RIO seat? Is there is a decent original vintage Joe that goes perfect for it with a flight suit besides a custom Ace?

Ripcord was always my go-to. And, congratulations on the find!

I have the blue-suited generic 94 Action Pilot currently.

Nice! Congrats.
I have Countdown, because he's a pilot without a vehicle. He's the same rank as Ace, wears similar pressure suit. He's also Electronic Engineer which makes him a viable RIO. So he's boring, but Ace has more than enough personalities! |

Never had the original Skystriker, but in my head it was always Ripcord. Sort of like how Airborne was always co-pilot in the Dragonfly. He's the right era, only arriving a year after the Skystriker, and roughly the right branch of the military for the job. Plus he was RIO in a couple episodes of the show and at least one comic.

Actually no, he's no where near the right branch, rank or qualification for the job. The only thing Rip Cord has going for him is the HALO helmet and mask, which makes him look like a pilot. But I understand, everything else you listed is true, so that's why everyone has him as the Skystriker's RIO.

According to Sunbow, nearly all the Joes were Skystriker pilots, regardless of branch or training. Heck, Shipwreck even shared a 2-person "backseat" with Lady Jaye while Flint played chauffer-pilot.
