So way back in episode 1, Heero thought about attacking (and by implication destroying) the shuttle with Relena and Vice Foreign Minister Darlian on it before being distracted by Zechs. And in one single episode, we learn that not only is Heero working against OZ, but that OZ wants Vice Minister Darlian out of the way (killing him in order to achieve it). In other words, Heero nearly did some of OZ's work for them six full episodes before he, Duo, Trowa, and Quatre fall for OZ's trick in wiping out the peace-oriented Alliance officials. In addition, Heero taking out the shuttle with Vice Foreign Minister Darlian on it would have played right into OZ's hands (colony mobile suit kills Vice Foreign Minister Darlian!).
Doctor J tellingly doesn't correct Relena's impression that Heero's the only one sent by the colonies to fight OZ. And it makes sense, given he's already told her that the colonies stopped communicating with each other after Heero Yuy's assassination. We haven't seen much of the organization he's apparently part of, but those two pieces of information would be enough to limit Relena's knowledge of everything related to Operation Meteor having more than just Heero involved (even if she's also met Duo).
I guess Wing's flight mode either isn't stealthy enough to make the trip to New Edwards Base without getting detected or it doesn't have the range necessary to do so. Either one would explain why Heero's taking the trouble to steal a plane when his Gundam can fly.
I will note that I could have sworn there was more Wufei and Treize in episode 8 than there ended up being. Maybe I got fooled by the episode title and summary.
