Now, while that is truly indeed very cool, it might just be pushing the envelope a touch into the Mary Sue zone. I'll leave that decision up to Valles, though, since this is his/her baby.

And it's such a cute little showy-poo! ^_^
Hrm. Something that I've been thinking to do in a few episodes is to assign Vermillion squadron as the SDF-1's Wild Weasel people - that is, their job will be Suppression of Enemy External Defenses - which not only makes for some of the most exciting action sequences imaginable, but also allows us to justify giving their planes a distinctive 'hero look' by mounteing them with permanent ECM and defensive gear.
Estevan "Barnstormer" Frade, then, is second or third in this specialist group's chain of command, leading one of the squadron's three flights - and, after the first couple of battles, the only one of those that's at full strength.
Under him are three total rookies - Jialan "Dizzy" Shui (she plays flute, hence the name comes from the di zi.), Katsuro "Max" Susumu (his reaction speed exceeds the measurement ability of the standard recruit testing equipment), and Kim "Big Ben" Singhe (who is 6' 1", and sets her watch alarm to use the Westminster quarters).
For the martial arts, well, Jialan may well dabble, but I'd suggest that it's actually Kim who practices seriously.
Ja, -n
