Wild Bill
- Wild Bill is a member of G.I. Joe from the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
A genial modern-day Texas cowboy with a love of country music and tall tales, Wild Bill may seem like an oddly quaint, albeit friendly, throwback to an earlier time. Don't let that fool you, however; he served a tour in Vietnam as part of a LRRP (long-range recon patrol) team before going to flight school, wherein he learned how to fly helicopters, such as his beloved Dragonfly, before ultimately figuring out how to pilot everything that can fly and a few things which can't (or, at least, aren't supposed to). He has earned the respect of his fellow Joes several times over for his willingness to mix it up in battle and skill in the air. Typically has fellow Joe Airborne as his gunner.
Howdy, pardner.

During G.I. Joe's attack on Cobra Island, Wild Bill piloted one of the cargo planes transporting troops and vehicles to enemy territory. When Duke explained to him that they were doing the right thing even though the higher-ups at the Pentagon were against the attack, Wild Bill cheerfully said that he and the other Joes were well aware of that.
