Yukikaze
Episode 1
S1 E1:
Over thirty years have passed since mankind's first contact with the mysterious alien force "JAM." As a member of the Special Air Force (SAF) stationed on Fairy Air Force Base, Rei Fukai's mission is to conduct reconnaissance as the pilot of his beloved Super Sylph, Yukikaze, and return to base, even if it means abandoning allies in distress. Jaded by these inhumane missions, Rei trusts only Yukikaze. One day, Yukikaze is attacked by an unidentified aircraft, but manages to shoot it down. But was it really JAM? Upon returning to flight missions after an administrative hearing, Rei is once more attacked by an unknown aircraft. The next thing he knows, he was awakened in a room within one of the Tactical Air Bases where Rei receives medical attention for his wounds. He only later learns that everything was part of a trap set by JAM. Rei narrowly escapes aboard the Yukikaze, but is attacked again and his cherished craft is destroyed.
