José Gutierrez

"Colonel, get out of there!"

- Jose Gutierrez, August '10 trailer

Captain José Gutierrez, callsign "Guts", is one of the main characters of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. He is the wingman of player character William Bishop. Number two of the Warwolf Squadron, he is an F-15C Eagle flight instructor whose flight abilities are nearly on par with those of Colonel Bishop himself. His open, expressive personality on the ground heavily contrasts with his serious attitude in the battlefield.

Trivia

 * José bears some outward similarities to Larry &quot;Pixy&quot; Foulke from Ace Combat Zero: both wingmen fly F-15C Eagles and both rival their respective flight lead's pilot skills.
 * José was first shown with a little facial hair, but it was later removed because facial hair is forbidden in the USAF. The same counts for his squadron leader, William Bishop.
