Version 1: 1986 boxed HAVOC vehicle
Fig. #0106: HAVOC Driver	MOS 1: Armor [19K] MOS 2: Heavy Equipment Operator [21E]
	head: Cross-Country (86) arms: Cross-Country (86) torso: Cross-Country (86) waist: Cross-Country (86) legs: Cross-Country (86)
	Accessories: none
	Cross-Country's father was a bulldozer operator and his mother drove a grader. You might say he was born to drive big yellow things that run on diesel. Coupled with his natural affinity for heavy machinery, his uncanny sense of direction and fearlessness under fire make him the man you want at the controls whether you're riding into a hairy situation or trying to get out of one! Qualified expert with Heavy Laser Cannon, M-16A2, M-2 50 cal. MG and .45 Auto-Pistol. "Crank-Case might be a wild man behind the wheel of his A.W.E. Striker, but Cross-Country will steer that H.A.V.O.C. of his across terrain that would break both axles of the RTV. Of course, a tracked vehicle has natural advantages, but it is Cross-Country's talent for sensing the most favorable grade, the shallowest mud, and the firmest sand that makes the difference."
Toy Notes: Item #6030.
Re-releases: A recolored version with a moustache was released in India.

Version 2: 1993 Battle Corps Wave 1 carded assortment, #2

	CROSS-COUNTRY'S father was a bulldozer operator and his mother drove a grader in the South. You might say this good 'ol country boy was born to drive big things that run on diesel. And when you hear his "rebel yell," and see the Southern flag on the back of his jacket flash by, you'll know he is on his way to do some serious Cobra butt kicking. Bazooka might be a wildman behind the wheel of his Blockbuster, but Cross-Country will drive that Battle Wagon over anything that gets in his way, especially if it has the Cobra insignia on it! Motto: "I'm always ready to battle anything rotten like I did in my days back in the land of cotton."
Toy Notes: Item #6862. This and other figures from the first wave of Battle Corps were available in most stores by Thanksgiving 1992. The Blockbuster would not be released until 1994.
Re-releases: A recolored version was released in Brazil as Pegasus.

	Slip Stream was a video-game whiz and computer hacker until he discovered flying. He joined the Jr. Civil Air Patrol while a teenager and eventually got his Air Force commission through the R.O.T.C. He finished at the top of his class in flight school where his knowledge of computers and his lightning reflexes gave him a keen competitive edge. He speaks Armenian, Greek, and French, plays a mean game of table tennis, and is known in the "Pit" as an unrepentent [sic] joker and mimic. "An aircraft with computer assisted control surfaces can do things that are impossible for a conventional plane. (Flat turns without banking, flight axis shift, and horizontal rolls.) The controls are incredibly sensitive, the slightest tremor being translated into drastic movement. It takes a light touch to fly a ship like that and Slip Stream has the touch, the eye, the brain, and the guts to make that aircraft do exactly what he wants."
Variations: The mouth shows individual teeth on some figures, simply white on others.

He finished at the top of his class in flight school where his knowledge of computers and his lightning reflexes gave him a keen competitive edge. It takes a light touch to fly a fighter jet that's tricked out with highly sensitive, computer-assisted control surfaces, but SLIP STREAM has the eyes, the brain, and the guts to make that aircraft do exactly what he wants. He speaks several languages fluently, plays a mean game of table tennis, and is known in the "Pit" as an repentant joker and mimic. "The controls are incredibly sensitive, so you have to have a steady hand to fly a jet. And it doesn't hurt if you have a streak of daredevil in you, too."

Victor W. Sikorski (American with Polish/Lithuanian surname) of Lawton, OK

Grades: WO-2: 1986-2008

SNs: 675-51-5671; 675-51-VW71

Sunbow Cartoon Notes: Voiced by Michael Bell. Southern accent. Spoke 91 lines in 16 episodes. First appeared and spoke in ASA 1. Total appearances: 22. Wore his 1986 outfit with dark brown pockets, gloves, and boots. Lift-Ticket was seen operating the LCV Recon Sleerd, Silver Mirage, and Tomahawk (in 20 episodes).

Prioritized Appearance List: The Million Dollar Medic, Second-Hand Emotions, G.I. Joe and the Golden Fleece, Arise Serpentor Arise parts 1, 2, 4, and 5, Not a Ghost of a Chance, Sins of Our Fathers, Let's Play Soldier, The Most Dangerous Thing in the World, Into Your Tent I Will Silently Creep, The Movie parts 3 and 5, Once Upon a Joe.

1. 1986 (Tomahawk)

2. 2009 (Ghost HAWK)

Version 1: 1986 boxed Tomahawk vehicle
Fig. #0108: Tomahawk Pilot	MOS 1: Rotary Wing Aircraft Pilot [153A] MOS 2: Fixed Wing Aircraft Pilot [155A]

	Accessories: black mic (new, with angled peg)
	Lift-Ticket was one of those guys who joined the army to get out of his hometown. The big difference with Lift-Ticket is that he scored so high on the aptitude test, he qualified for West Point Prep., O.C.S. (Officer Candidate School) and Flight Warrant Officer School. Nobody in Lawton ever suspected he was that smart. Apparently, neither did Lift-Ticket, since he opted for Flight Warrant School over the others, thinking that it was the only one that offered training applicable to civilian employment. "Getting into a target area is comparatively easy - you wait until dark and get sneaky. Now, getting out after some caps have been popped anda can o' firefight's been opened; well, that's another story. All you can do is squat on the L.Z. (landing zone) and hope that whoever's driving the extraction chopper is skillful, persistent, lucky, and bulletproof. Lift-Ticket satisfies the first three requirements, and he's working on the fourth!"
Variations: The helmet came in two slightly different shades of red.
Toy Notes: Item #6022.

	LIFT TICKET was one of those guys who joined the Army to get out his hometown. The big difference with LIFT TICKET was that he scored so high on the aptitude test that he qualified for West Point Prep, Officer Candidate School, and Flight Warrant Officer Candidate School. Nobody in Lawton ever suspeced he was that smart, even LIFT TICKET: he opted for Flight School, thinking that it was the only one that offered training applicable to civilian employment. He's known for his piloting experience and stubborn persistence in getting into a landing zone in the middle of enemy fire for extraction. "You don't just fly into an LZ expecting the weapons fire to somehow miss you. You've got to have a whole lot of skill, plenty of stubbornness and a fistful of luck if you want to get you and your team out of there in one piece."

	The best secret agents in the world work for private corporations as industrial spies simply because "big business" pays better than any government. Cobra can attract some of the best pilots from around the globe to join the air wing of the Cobra Legions, known as the Air-Vipers, by doubling and tripling their salaries. Air-Vipers are formidable opponents but the Strato-Vipers are the "cr�me de la cr�me." "To qualify as a Strato-Viper, a candidate must first be an Air-Viper with 1500 hours logged in flight time. He must have a fixed-wing rating up to four engines, combat experience, an impeccable security clearance, and be willing to undergo the surgical procedure necessary to make him more resistant to hypoxia, hyperventilation, and other decompression sicknesses that can affect a pilot above Armstrong's Line (63,000 feet)."
Toy Notes: Item #6014. The Air-Vipers mentioned here would not receive their own figure until 2003. Strato-Viper's appearance is represented in the 25th-Anniversary line by the Air Viper Commando released in 2009's FLAK/CLAW two-pack.

Prioritized appearance list: The Phantom Brigade, Worlds Without End II, Joe's Night Out, Arise Serpentor Arise part 3. Silent: The Gamesmaster, Sins of Our Fathers, In the Presence of Mine Enemies. AVACs were included in the opening sequence of the Movie.

1. 1986 (Firebat)

2. 2004 (Built to Rule)

3. 2008 (25th Firebat)

Version 1: 1986 boxed Terror Drome playset with Firebat vehicle
Fig. #0110: Cobra Terror Drome Firebat Pilot
	head: AVAC (86) arms: AVAC (86) torso: AVAC (86) waist: AVAC (86) legs: AVAC (86)
	Accessories: black parachute harness (new, with Cobra emblem)
	Piloting a Firebat is somewhat akin to strapping yourself onto a cannonball. The cockpit is cramped by any standard and utterly lacking in even the kindest amenities. No engine status display, no weather instruments, no navigation aids, and no ejection seat. Just the basic flight panel, throttle, pedals, and stick. But after the initial high-G's of vertical takeoff, the Firebat levels out to being the fastest, most responsive single-seat fighter in the Cobra arsenal. "A.V.A.C. pilots are drawn from the Air-Viper pool. They must be capable of complex mental calculations to make up for lack of on-board computers are absolutely fearless to cope with the Firebat's basic unforgiving nature. The aircraft is not what you would call user-friendly. Surprisingly, there is no lack of recruits for the program. All the best fighter-jocks want a ride on the 'Pocket Rocket.'"
Toy Notes: Item #6003. The Air-Vipers mentioned here would not receive their own figure until 2003, and it is on their filecard that the abbreviation AVAC is explained.

Version 2: 2004 Built-to-Rule boxed Headquarters Attack playset
Fig. #0977: Pilot	Skills: Aircraft Pilot
	head: AVAC (04) arms: Shadow Viper (04), AVAC (04) torso: AVAC (04) waist: Shadow Viper (04), AVAC (04) legs: AVAC (04); lower legs only: Shadow Viper (04)
	Accessories: none
	[The 2004 Built-to-Rule filecards had no main text.]
Toy Notes: Also included the figure Snake Eyes (04/VI). Appeared in the 2004 BTR catalog but thought unreleased until the items surfaced in 2005. It was apparently released in one or two local test markets and pulled due to low sales. Item #6876. This playset is considered an ultra-high-demand, hard-to-find item.

Version 3: 2008 boxed Firebat vehicle
Fig. #1335: Cobra Pilot A.V.A.C. (Air Viper, Advanced Class)	MOS 1: TERROR DROME FIREBAT JET Pilot MOS 2: COBRA Air Fleet Pilot
	head: AVAC (08) arms: Sgt. Flash (08), Grand Slam (08), HISS Driver (08/I, 08/II), HISS Commander (08), Tripwire (08), AVAC (08), Cobra Trooper (08/VI) chest: Sgt. Flash (08), Grand Slam (08) Tripwire (08), Cobra Trooper (08/VI); modified: HISS Driver (08/I, 08/II), HISS Commander (08), AVAC (08), Maj. Bludd (08/II, 08/III) midsection: Sgt. Flash (08), Grand Slam (08) Tripwire (08), Cobra Trooper (08/VI); modified: HISS Driver (08/I, 08/II), HISS Commander (08), AVAC (08), Maj. Bludd (08/II, 08/III) legs: Zartan (07, 08, 09/I, 09/II), Maj. Bludd (08/I), AVAC (08)
	Accessories: black belt (08 Flash's); black knife (07 Zartan's, with silver blade); black Cobra figure stand
	The elite A.V.A.C. pilots are specially trained to fly the FIREBAT JET fleet. They must have exceptional piloting and navigation skills, because the FIREBAT JET has been designed with minimal pilot instrumentation to increase its speed and maneuverability. A.V.A.C. pilots relish the challenge of "real" flying, in which their control and calculations determine whether they succeed - or whether they go down in flames. They are chosen from the ranks of the COBRA pilots for their utter fearlessnes as much as their impressive piloting skills. "The FIREBAT JET is an unforgiving aircraft, so you've got to be the best to fly it. And, of course, we ARE the best."
Toy Notes: Item #32840.
