What is the codename of the G.I. Joe team's helicopter pilot?

The codename of the G.I. Joe team’s helicopter pilot is Wild Bill.

Wild Bill’s real name is William S. Hardy, and his primary military specialty is helicopter pilot. He joined the G.I. Joe team as the pilot of the Dragonfly, a heavily armed attack helicopter closely associated with his action figure and early appearances. He can also fly fixed-wing aircraft and is trained as an aircraft armorer.

The character debuted in the 1983 G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line and Marvel comic series. In the Sunbow cartoon, he is recognizable for his cowboy-inspired look, Texas background and exaggerated country-western personality. His Southern mannerisms are part of the character’s flavor, but they do not replace his formal role as one of the team’s aviators.

Wild Bill is sometimes confused with Ace, the G.I. Joe fighter pilot, or Slip Stream, another aircraft specialist. Airborne is primarily a paratrooper. Wild Bill’s defining assignment is rotary-wing aviation, making him the team’s original helicopter pilot.
