Nick Fury knows the guys around if he was using the Helicarrier and he picks up War Machine he'd pick up Falcon as well and he would likely have new Weapons since Stark was making them for everyone else.

They were already pushing the limits on new Stark tech additions between caps new mag shield, Hawkeye's new gear, Black Widow's stun batons and the Hulkbuster.

Agents of SHIELD won't deal with it at all. Sam isn't a SHIELD agent. This explains the training grounds though too. His new suit might need to be tested still and he may not have been aware it was done or even what all it could do. That's too much ripe material for a quick 3 minute or less scene.

War Machine's suit on the other hand had been previously field tested many times over and hasn't changed much from previous iterations. The suit designs aren't that far removed from his IM2 debut. Not sure why they didn't cover the removal of the Iron Patriot paint job though. Might be something tied to the fact that suit is military hardware only now, and this war machine suit was in mothballs with the helicarrier. (Or Tony had a previous War Machine suit made up for backup if ever needed per the events of IM3 when the IP suit got stolen.) Either way, the War Machine suit has had copious amounts of testing rounds from the previous movies and pilots the same as all Tony's armors. The Falcon gear on the other hand, is a different kind of flight system entirely.
