- "This is S.H.I.E.L.D. Echo 3."
- ―John Garrett[src]
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Jump Jet is a specialized plane that is used as a transport for small groups of field agents.
History
- "Three planes, a small transport to dock and a pair of F-35s to make sure we hand over Quinn."
- ―Grant Ward[src]
When Phil Coulson refused to obey the direct order of handing over Ian Quinn for interrogation and transport to the Fridge, John Garrett and Antoine Triplett were sent in this plane to reach the Bus with two F-35s escorting them. When radioed about their violation of a direct S.H.I.E.L.D. directive, Melinda May asked how to proceed; the Jump Jet docked over The Bus, allowing Garrett and Triplett access to the Bus.
The Jump Jet remained attached to the Bus during the mission to retrieve a drug to save Skye's life, and when the mission was successfully finished, Garrett and Triplett took Quinn to their plane to be transported to the Fridge.[1]
Jump Jet in action
Victoria Hand later used a Jump Jet to return to the Hub after a meeting with Coulson at the Arctic about the impending hunt for the Clairvoyant.[2]
During the HYDRA Uprising, Garrett was flying his team's Jump Jet when it was attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D. UAVs sent by Hand. With coordinated flying and the firepower of the Bus manned by Coulson, Garrett was able to escape their assault.[3]
Grant Ward used a Jump Jet to fly from the HYDRA Barbershop Headquarters to Providence.[4] Later, Coulson took his plane to Portland to stop Marcus Daniels. Leo Fitz used the Jet's Gamma Power Reserve to overpower Daniels and he exploded.[5]
Coulson's Team used a Jump Jet to travel from California to Cuba to pursue the Centipede Project and Grant Ward.[6]
After the destruction of the Barbershop Headquarters, Coulson was aboard the Jump Jet when he briefed his team on how they would attack the Centipede Project in New Mexico.[7]
A Jump Jet was held by the United States Government in the Government Storage Warehouse.[8]
Capabilities
The Jump Jet is capable of docking mid-flight with other aerial vehicles. It is also very maneuverable; it can dodge missiles with ease.
