| - During Sigma-1's plot to unite multiple worlds and absorb their power, it carried the Freedom Fighters to their home city of Mobotropolis to engage M'egga Man. Following the fusion of the worlds that Mobotropolis and Mega City were built on by Sigma's Unity Engines, the Sky Patrol became the common headquarters of the heroes who joined forces to battle Sigma. The heroes fought against several of Sigma's Mavericks and the Deadly Six on top of the Sky Patrol. When Sigma-2 opened several Genesis Portals and the heroes entered them, the Sky Patrol was left defenseless and Sigma destroyed it in order to prevent the United Heroes from regrouping after their return, those inside escaping in a shuttle with Metal Sonic's help. However, it is temporarily replaced by the Delphinus during the battle against Sigma. With Xander Payne undoing the events of Worlds Unite, the damage done to the Sky Patrol never happened.
- Rotor explained that Sky Patrol was created to serve as an answer to the Death Egg and any other aircraft that Eggman built. The Freedom Fighters constructed the Sky Patrol in utmost secrecy near the Mystic Ruins in order to prevent Eggman and his minions from locating it, with Amy Rose and Big the Cat standing guard. It's development continued as Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails searched for the scattered Knothole Freedom Fighters, and was constructed to accommodate a complement of twenty-four. Later, once the Freedom Fighters had been reunited, the Sky Patrol was launched on its maiden voyage in a rush to escape the effects of the Shattered World Crisis. It was then swiftly taken into action as part of crisis management in Station Square before being relieved by the Letter of Gabriel. (StH: #253, #256, #257, SSSM: #9) The Sky Patrol was subsequently used by the Freedom Fighters to catch up to the Egg Train carrying Sir Charles Hedgehog and Professor Pickle. The two professors were brought aboard the craft to transport them to safety, and during their brief stay they discussed what they had learned about current crisis and its connections to the legend of Dark Gaia. Around this time, the Freedom Fighters participated in a training exercise in the simulation room. In pursuit of the Gaia Temples and Chaos Emeralds needed to return the world to normal, the Freedom Fighters used the Sky Patrol to travel to Crystal Cave and Meropis, where they managed to recover an Emerald and meet new allies. They then traveled to Soumerca, where they continued disaster relief efforts and also set out to claim another Chaos Emerald. At about this time, Dr. Eggman launched an attack on the Sky Patrol with his new Badnik Horde Commander, War Walrus, but was defeated by the Sky Patrol's defense systems. However, he immediately began preparing for a future attack, this time using a Tails Doll. (StH: #258, #259, #260, #262, #263, #264, #265, SSSM: #10) Eggman's chance soon came when the Sky Patrol arrived in the Sand Hill Zone in search of another Chaos Emerald, this time without Sonic aboard. Both Team Freedom and Team Fighters were deployed, only to run into a dual set of traps set for them. This forced Cream the Rabbit to lead a small squad of reserves to their rescue, unaware that their departure opened a window for the Tails Doll to board the ship. The Freedom Fighters managed to return to the Sky Patrol without recovering the Emerald, but were rejoined by Sonic. Upon learning of the Chaos Emerald Championship set up by Breezie the Hedgehog, the Freedom Fighters registered Team Fighters-Sonic, Amy, and Tails-for the tournament. Sally contacted both her father King Acorn and Breezie as part of an effort to purchase the Emerald rather than risk losing it in the tournament, but Breezie refused to part with it any other way. The remaining Freedom Fighters, who were unable to register, watched the tournament from the Sky Patrol, and later welcomed Knuckles the Echidna and Chip aboard. At about the same time they were contacted by Gregorios, which led to them sending scouts to Apotos. After an attack by Dark Gaia's Minions, Sally led a team to Isolated Island to check up on Dr. Ellidy, and later contacted Rotor on the Sky Patrol while there. The group soon rejoined the ship and set out for Apotos, where they made contact with Gregorios and learned of the Gaia Keys. Afterwards, the ship traveled to the Crystal Desert Zone to pick up another Chaos Emerald, which the group managed to do after tangling with Metal Sonic.
