Maybe go with a noble/soldier battlefield controller type? There are some good builds out there using the AoO talents from GaW.
Otherwise I'd say go with a military pilot. Fighter pilots are notoriously tough in combat as well as in the cockpit and it really only takes one feat and a skill to be a 'military pilot' themed. For the meat and potatoes go with a generic all-round character. Focus mostly on ranged weapon attacks, but take martial arts, dodge, etc.

Just my two bits
