I'm drawing a complete blank. Who is depicted as the Sky Hawk pilot on the original 1984 box art? The picture on yojoe.com isn't very clear. Is it Duke? |

Given the release year, I think it has to be Duke. There aren't a whole lot of other figures it could be at that point. |

Where is the Lt. Freddy Bamma thing from? Why does it sound familiar Steve |

I think now I know why my Ghost H.A.W.K. is currently pilotless instead of being flown by my diaper-crotch 25A Duke. |

Lt. Frederick Bama is the name of the pilot of the Sky hawk according to the sticker sheet that came with it. Hasbro never made a figure, I used my first Steel Brigade for him With a hawk V1 head and helmet. Called him Shrike. |

Both the SkyStriker's back seat and Dragonfly's gunner seat have names on them for no known Joes. |

I thought the Dragonfly had lt. Talltree (airborne) on it, and the skystriker I made a custom called RIO out of a doc head and an Ace I got from a mailaway. I thought he looked like the blackd ude from topgun. |
