And that list no longer is "canon" so...NEW LIST TIME!

Point!
but I'll stick to the list until the new comic comes out.
However, with Hasbro's recent additions of a Flash and Doc figure, maybe they have thrown out the old "canon".
as for the pilots...
I think most Joes are cross trained on various vehicles. I mean, even Lady Jaye is a decent pilot. It could be
Assumed that most are cross trained, but some raise some question marks:
Ace - Seen flying both jets and prop planes. he is trained on the mini copters, so he is at least rotor qualified.
Airborne - Co-pilot of the dragonfly, so hes rotor qualified.
Airborne II - Part of sky patrol, so it could be assumed he is at least fixed wing qualified
Airwave - Same deal as Airborne II
Altitude - same deal as Airborne II
Barrel Roll - I think he is cross trained, cause he is supposed to be flying the Night attack chopper, but he is definetly fixed qualified
Bombstrike - ther is serious debate on her, wether or not she is fixed qualified, or simply Tactical Artillary support.
Cloudburst - it could be assumed he is fixed wing (due to the glider) but could aslo be rotor qualified
Dogfight - is definetly fixed qualified
Drop Zone - same deal as Airwave II
Free Fall - not sure of Any flight qualifications on him
Ghostrider - both fixed and rotor qualified
Lift Ticket - Both fixed and rotor qualified
Major Altitude - Rotor Qualified, could be assumed to be fixed as well
Ripcord - ripcord was seen flying backup with Ace, so it could be assumed he's fixed qualified. but this is suspect, considering hes a halo specialist
Skydive - same deal as Airborne II
Skymate - I think he is fixed qualified from the Austrailian SAS
Skystriker - is fixed qualified at least, but could be rotor qualified (with the Tigerfly being an optional vehicle)
Slipstream - has been seen flying fighter and cargo planes, so hes is definetly fixed and prop qualifies, not sure of the rotor qualifications, but I assume he is as trained as Wild Bill and ace.
Starduster - Only been seen with the jetpack,. so his qualifications are unsure
Static Line - same deal as Airborne II
Updraft - Fixed Qualified
Vorona - Not really familliar with her qualifications, but she was seen piloting wqith Gorky back when she was still Diana, so she is at least fixed wing qualified.
Wild Bill - Cilitiesross trained in virtually every flying vehicle in the Joe arsinal
Windmill - due to the X-wing's capabilities, definetly cross trained.
