I'm not sure. Certainly the Army uses large numbers of warrant officers as pilots. The Navy has established programs for flying warrants, then (I think) disestablished them -- can't make up their mind. Mind you, though, that warrant officers in the U.S. forces are considered officers, not enlisted, unlike the Commonwealth nations.
The last few enlisted naval air pilots from the earlier era retired in the early 1970s; mostly they were transport pilots and the like.
