I guess I'm a little confused by the government's plan here. After the Skyman program was made public, they hired Eric to be the public face of Skyman to help defuse the bad publicity that the last guy was a racist murderous asshole. Okay, yeah, I get it.

But they're still having the handpicked and trained Sharp (also a murderous asshole, if more vocally ablist than racist) continue to use the technology to run black-ops missions. Sure, the US government employs shitty people to do shitty things, that follows.

But what's really throwing me is they have him running black-ops in the same highly distinctive costume, which helpfully shows off enough of his lower face to make it clear that it isn't the same guy.

"The US flying soldier guy just blew up a civilian building!"

"Nonono, the US flying soldier guy is a black man in a blue flight suit with an S on the belt. This was a *white* man in a blue flight suit with an S on the belt. It must be completely unrelated."

Considering some of the TRULY stupid shit the CIA tried to do to assassinate Castro, this almost comes across as subtle.
