In Kurasawa, Knight mentions flying a nightmare patrol with Lightning. During this flight, Lightning was killed.

Here's some from the Vega campaign of WC1. I think some of these were mentioned already, but what the hell. Also, in the brackets is the squadron the pilot's in.

Dragon (Yellow Jacket, later Killer Bees)
Redbird (Killer Bees)
Valkyrie (Yellow Jacket)
Turtle (Killer Bees)
Lightning (Blue Devils)
Waxman (Blue Devils?)
Lt. Bhutto (squadron unknown, but it's not Black Lions)
Flashfire (Blue Devils?)

Shane, I think the pilot you remember from Academy is Lightspeed.

Could be. Couldn't figure out where the WC Acdemy manual was last night, and was too tired to care too much

Did grab Freedom flight and thumbed through it on the train this morning. Here's what I found...

Peter "Puma" Youngblood - Spirit's wingman who failed to follow orders and bought it.
"Littlehawk" -flew with Hunter during Vega and died in a crash on the landing deck.
Phillip - Spirit's fiance. This is perhaps tenuous, but Hunter makes a mental comment to himself on p. 26 Those bastard cats. First her man gets transferred away from her, and now the buggers are trying to capture the installation he was sent to. He later goes on to say, after the battle for Epsilon Station, Phillip will probably have another half dozen fighters stenciled on his fighter. From those snippets, not only was he a pilot, he may have flown on the Claw at one point.
