Canon says John can fly anything without training, and fly it really, really well. I say he'd never beat a Skywalker, but is impressive compared with average humans.

John is prone to getting stabbed, shot, and generally beat up. He heals amazingly quickly only to get stabbed, shot, or beat up again a week later. If you need someone for that, he's your guy.

More importantly, John's hair is semi-sentient. It also naturally looks that way, stop staring, Chuck.
