Probably so the hero can eject the plucky WSO before launching himself on a suicidal mission against an implacable foe while making sure his hair doesn't get mussed up.

it's not that kind of movie, CanisD..... it's not top gun or something.

the book is better, though.... the storyline is more worked out instead of focussing on air combat. and the original aircraft were.... well.... better. based on real world aircraft and so on... I hope to draw those over here as well, but they are kinda hard, as I only have an image that shows the aircraft partial from an weird angle, and the description of the book.

Does it actually explain why they nuke a civilian settlement? The series seemed to rationalize it with "Sucks to be You"

civilian settlement? first of all: there are no civilians on fairy. I suppose you mean the underground 'city' under fairy base? that area was abandoned, and the troops that took over it were actually troops infiltrated (or copied) by JAM. but I don't know much more then I could find out from viewing the movies 3 times, that part is in the second book.... which isn't translated in English yet. it will become available in July, IIRC....

possibly. there is so much to do which I want to do first, and I am crazy busy in 'real life' as well ATM, but I plan doing them in the future.
