Special training in Assault Parachuting. Chopper is always the first to volunteer for dangerous flying missions. Off duty he flies for relaxation.. He asked to join the Action Force SATT after an attack on his home airport by the Red Shadows.

Chopper, was the German variant of the SAS Pilot (also called Chopper). He came with a life jacket (different to the SAS Pilot’s version), a rubber band (to attach the life jacket) and a blaster that also came with Star Wars figures (and a variant of the second series Baron Ironblood). The SAS Pilot was a variat of the Para Attack (Sparrow Hawk) figure.

In 1983 Germany released their versions of Action Force as Anti-Terror Teams and Terror Teams. In Germany the logos on the figures were all changed and instead of replica guns they had weapons that looked less-real! The German toy boxes were all cardboard and did not have plastic windows like in other countries.
