Airborne: The Forgotten Native American Joe


I find it interesting Airborne, who was part of the second series of Joes that came out in 1983, is the original Native American Joe member. Everybody of course remembers the more popular Spirit who came out in the third line of 1984 and appeared in a lot of episodes of this animated series, but nobody really remembers Airborne.

I'm watching this series in order and Airborne had appeared in the background of a couple episodes but finally got a main speaking role in episode 22, "Operation Mind Menace." It's also interesting to note that Airborne speaks English normally like any 20th century American Indian would as opposed to Spirit who talks more in a stereotypical 19th century accent.

Airborne was too white acting
