The Sky Hawk is a vehicle from the Generation 1 continuity family.
In 1984 the world's most brilliant scientists and engineers were assembled in secret for the sole purpose of constructing the world's most advanced attack helicopter.

Coming in at the lighter end of the G.I. Joe air forces, the Sky Hawk is a light, one-man VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft whose small size enables it to operate in areas and under conditions where larger, more traditional aircraft would have trouble. Although first introduced back in 1984, the Sky Hawk's versatility is such that it is still in service.

Transformers vs. G. I. Joe

[edit]

Duke was on patrol in a Sky Hawk when Starscream and a team of Decepticons came to meet the Joes. Matters quickly went south, however, leading to armed conflict between the factions. Duke and Starscream briefly squared off, but Duke eventually had to break off in order to evacuate Hawk, Lady Jaye, and Flash so that they weren't caught in the blast after the Coltonbolt satellite fired.

G.I. Joe deployed several Sky Hawks to maintain an air perimeter around a Junkion ship that had landed on the Matterhorn. When Wreck-Gar investigated the aircraft by grabbing one out of the sky, they returned fire and knocked the Junkion leader to bits. A Lonely Pillar on the Plain Flint used a Sky Hawk to travel to Sicily a few days later. Dance Among the Shadows

A Sky Hawk was one of the many pieces of G.I. Joe hardware brought to bear against the Maximal invasion of Toronto, providing cover fire for Scarlett and shooting down Soundwave in the battle. Ceremony
