Nice. So in place of Hikaru's recklessly impromptu acrobatics, we have Estevan doing a legit air show and finding out he was only there to be upstaged.
For entirely different reasons than Miranda's, I'm also wondering who the Valk pilot was. Anyone important, or just J. Random Angelbird Squadron Pilot?

(The Angelbirds, for those not in the know, being the Valkyrie acrobatic team from the first ep of original Macross, equivalent to the real USAF Blue Angels. Their planes' blue-and-red color scheme was an in-joke: if they'd ever been seen in Battroid mode, the paint job would have looked an awful lot like a sailor fuku.)
