Altitude – G.I. Joe’s high-altitude helicopter pilot

Introduced in 1990, Altitude (L. Thomas Wheeler) is a high-altitude helicopter pilot, trained for mountain operations and extreme flying conditions. Associated with the Battle Copter, he specializes in transport, extraction, and support missions where thin air, strong winds, and rugged terrain challenge both pilot and machine.

Unlike fast jet aces, Altitude represents the precision and endurance side of aerial operations. His missions demand calm focus, technical skill, and absolute control in hostile environments.

Altitude reflects the late-era G.I. Joe shift toward specialized, realistic military roles, making him a unique and respected support pilot within the team.
