After losing his qualification as a section leader three times the Sky Trooper finally earned his wings. Unfortunately, his ego writes checks his body can't cash.
In-game description
With his ultra-fast rate of fire, Sky Trooper is ready to take you to the danger zone.
Zombie Stink Cloud arcs a gas grenade in front of the zombie; any plants inside the gas suffer damage. The gas is also extremely helpful for cover. It requires a 20-second recharge after use.
An alternate ability of Rocket Jump, the Foot Soldier will go a further distance, but will not jump as high. Rocket Leap also has two uses. This ability is good if you want to get around places faster.

Strategies
The Sky Trooper's primary weapon is similar to the Foot Soldiers, but it exchanges ammo capacity for an extreme rate of fire. As standard for most Foot Soldier Variants, both high vantage points and proper aim are important things to master with the Sky Trooper. The Sky Trooper can deal damage faster than the Foot Soldier, but actual vanquishes might take longer if your opponent is very mobile. Use the Zombie Stink Cloud to force opponents into places where you can easily shoot them.
The name of his primary weapon is a reference to the film Top Gun and its album song Danger Zone.
His in-game description also references this.
He has dead flies splattered on his helmet.
He is the only Foot Soldier variant that has the tip of the ZPG pop up when the reload time has finished.
There are markings and brains on the sides of his helmet.
The rocket launcher has stickers of an unknown air force and the United States Air Force.
In Garden Warfare 1, the head of the rocket is visible inside the ZPG when it is ready to be used. After firing the ZPG it disappears, reappearing once the ability is charged. This visual is not in Sky Trooper's Garden Warfare 2 design, but however, if one looks closely down in the ZPG, they can see the tip of the rocket inside of it, but not being able to pop out.
Unlike the normal Foot Soldier, the pellets he fires out of his weapon glows.
In a Garden Warfare 2 quest, he is shown to be a member of the Zomboss Elite Air Squad, however the only reason he joined was because he thought the word "air" sounded dangerous, even though he apparently has no idea what air is.
In Garden Warfare 2, he gains windshield wipers on his visor.
