***STORY AND CHARACTER UPDATE*** Check out the initial bios in the first page of this topic stream...n Guys, the setting of the animation is late 70's... So please bear with that... The reason why we set the story in this time frame is because the age of pure kick-ass, no BS, dogfighting was still on... You wanted to kill the bad guy, you had to close with to visual range for a good shot. Not much emphasis BVR stuff... So adjust the character's bios if ya got em... We planned that if this is successful, we may go on as far as Season 2, THEN we can have modern air craft... Capiche? Pilots Vince "Jet" Matthews (Hero) :yes: Stays totally neutral emotionally, like he never gets excited or scared, although he has a good sence of humor. Bernard "Ace" McDonald (Wingman) Then have his best friend be this really aloof guy who is always forgetting things and getting girls. He is the "Comedic Relief" guy who is usually oblivious to other people's feelings always talks really loud and says stupid things. James "Bear" Solis (Survivor) Bomber pilot, always has a good joke up his sleeve. British!!! Rei "Dragon" Yamada (Lone Wolf) Emo. Girlfriend was killed in Parani air strike while she was working Red Cross. Sasha Dragunov's gonna have to be born in the 60's or late 50's to be a part of the series... I think Sasha's character is a defector pissed off at communism... In regards to Dave's character, gimme a bio for him... I see him as the guy that no matter what happens, is always relaxed and casual... KEEP THE IDEAS COMING!!! MORE DETAILS, SUGGESTIONS, AND COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU KICK-Ass this 2009!!!

Happy New Year!!! Yeah sure... I wud be glad to incorporate some other ideas... feel free to shoot one my way...

***UPDATE*** wanna add YOUR of someone's character into the series? Just post your pilot and we'll try to incorporate it into the series... ROCK ON!!!

We decided that in the first few episodes, the mercs would sport civie attire before donning their flight suits... Hope you guys are ok with that!!!

***UPDATE*** Need an opinion What's better? Mercs wear civilian or flight suits? If civilian, the characters will wear jeans, jacket, shirts, boots or sneakers... Helmets are not necessary...

Hey thanks for your concern... In the first few episodes, the guys'll be flying A-1s, S-2s, and B-26s. Because of logistics, newer and better planes will eventually be available to the mercs. As for personalization, the squadron insignia is an edited version of the Playboy bunny... And we shall try to make personalized paint jobs such that it will be easy to see who is who... We are trying to give you a realistic and logistically feasible feeling of what it's like to be limited... Thanks for the feedback

***UPDATE*** Mercs squadron's name is "The Raving Rabbits" THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR FEEDBACK!!! KEEP EM COMING!!! Main Characters: Mercs Vince "Jet" Matthews Age: 23 Background: Father served in the Korean conflict, graduate of USC '69. Not a supporter of the Vietnam conflict, Vince is intrigued by the escalation in Dhimar and in 1971 upon completion of civilian flight training, leaves home to fly as a Dhimarian Merc Pilot. A cool headed operator, Vince rises through the ranks quickly to become one of the best pilots of the mercs... Bernard "Ace" McDonald Age: 23 Vince's friend and wingman, they met up in flight school. Bernard is actually the reason why Vince joins the mercs. "Ace" is hot-tempered, rule breaking, and comedic and has Vince's back. Pilots of the "Raving Rabbits" James "Bear" Solis Age: 22 James comes from a prominent family. His a big, tall man and usually tackles deep strike bombing type missions. He is the pilot that always makes it back. Provides some comical relief and always brags about his girl friend back in the States. MORE INFO COMING!!! Trying to find sketches of the characters...

Thanks for the heads up...

Lost my manual.... What year did the Dhimar War ever end? And did somebody make a geographical map on it? Thanks

Wiki The Philippine Air Force I dunno... just a random air force that used to fly F-5s

Check out "Strike Fighters: Project 1" on wiki, it'll have a background on the conflict
