He was shown quite a bit in the second full season of the Sunbow series. His frenemy was the Marine Leatherneck. In the modern era there probably would have been a lot of "shippers" writing fan fiction about them hooking up.

Wild Weasel is a type of airplane that goes after enemy radar installations. It's also the pilot of the COBRA Rattler, which was loosely based on the A-10 Warthog. Though Warthogs don't have wings that turn 90 degrees or a tail gunner.

He was shown a few times in the Sunbow series and I already mentioned the spotlight issue of the comic book where he and Ace get in an epic duel.
That was pretty much it for him. But a couple of years ago Hasbro recolored the Autobot Powerglide blue so it mostly looked like a COBRA Rattler. Wild Weasel was not included.

I thought maybe you'd pick "Wild Bill" along with Wild Weasel being both VTOL pilots but Wet-Suit needs to represent for the maritime Joes since Cobra got their guys mentioned lol. Torpedo was also a Navy SEAL so I guess he and Wet-Suit could have fun together.
"bus wars"!! lol!! some poor proofreader messed that up and people 30 years later are still noticing it. Hard to say who would win, Greyhound or the school buses...hopefully the conflict didn't widen to draw in those buses that take old people to the casinos :p
Man you are a fountain of knowledge on G.I. Joe Pat. I had no idea of the history. Could spin this into it's own blog!
