Filecard information:
Code Name: AIRWAVE
SKY PATROL AUDIBLE FREQUENCY SPECIALIST
File Name: Mewett, Cliff V.
SN: 450-1941-CS49
Primary Military Specialty: Sky Patrol Audible Frequency Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Signal Corps Adjutant for JCS*
Birthplace: Louisville, Kentucky
Grade: E-8
AIRWAVE can coax a signal through a shot-up PRC-77 receiver/transmitter from the bottom of a rift valley during an electrical storm. He can improvise an antenna out of a wire fence, cleaning rods, or claymore wire and repair circuits using a bayonet and heat tabs for a soldering iron. Airwave's knowledge and skills aren't theoretical, they're absolutely practical where it counts the most — in the field!
"Once, on a simulated artillery spotting mission in a deserted industrial complex, Airwave's radio was totaled by enemy machine gun fire. The squad immediately wanted to scrub the mission and call it a day, but not Airwave. As mock shells exploded all around, this die-hard maneuvered his way towards a semi-destroyed telephone booth. When inside, he adjusted the phone's circuitry and called his own artillery battery to relay the target coordinates on enemy positions. He believes that his job is not defined by equipment, but by problems and their solutions!"

Except for the new head sculpts, all 6 Sky Patrol figures were repaints. Airwave's entire body is a repaint of 1986 Motor Viper.
The Sky Patrol Joes came with a remake of the 1985 Mail Order Parachute Pack and a silver parachute with "radar reflective coating"
