    Growing up Airborne had a bad habit of getting shot down in my sandbox. Was usually able to crash into a Cobra encampment or vehicle. I assure you it was quite heroic and deserving of many medals and awards.

    AIRBORNE! Omg I soooo forgot about him! He was another one of the originals and I also forgot he another indigenous soldier just like Spirit and Ace and Airborne is a telepath. He is best friends with Stalker, Duke and Flash. I think he's the only Joe I dont have but I'll get'm. Good job JLS! 👍💪👍

      I agree. Nobody made a big deal about it either. We just liked Stalker, Doc, and Roadblock because they were cool. Dee Jay not so much, but that had nothing to do with the color of his skin lol. There were also a few Hispanic dudes, like Grunt and Shipwreck, and I think Torpedo was Hawaiian.

      Jason Martin : Yeh, Torpedo was Hawaiian. But I think maybe you're confusing Grunt with Zap, who I know was Puerto-Rican. In the comix, Larry Hama clearly intended Stalker to be Hawk's Number One, but HASBRO had other ideas. Dee-Jay? Well, he was a last minute addition to the unlamented Battle Force 2000, so whattaya expect?😁

    Always luvd Airborne's versatility. Put him in a copter or fixed wing craft and he could be it's pilot, or gunner. He could deploy on a 'chute, glider or repel line. When he landed he could hang with the rangers. Then when he got back to base he could write up some legal briefs in prep for going to court! Oh, and then there was that "Far seeing look"/ESP thing.

      It was weird! You'd see him in that old uniform for a lot of the episodes, but then you'd see him in the uniform for the figure. It's like they couldn't figure out what to do with his character for the cartoon.
