Erich Hillenberand

"Ustio mercenaries, this is going to be fun."

- Captain Hillenberand talking during the battle.

"A Man Who Lived For Battle"

Erich's squadron consisted of four F-14D Super Tomcats & an EA-6B Prowler used for radar jamming. Like the Rot squadron, Schnee's F-14D's are capable of using XLAA's for long-range attacks. After inflicting critical damage to enemy forces in the Southern Front (possibly Osean Forces) and wiping out dozens of Ustian aircraft, they were sent to the frontline.

Hillenberand's only goal was to live his life as a regular ace pilot in the Air Force. He never had any great ambitions, nor was he interested in promotions or awards, earning him of 'Eternal 2nd Lieutenant', despite his skill & experience. He also never liked belonging to a specific group and rarely co-operhis title with his allies, but they have a complete trust in him during combat.

During Operation Battle-Axe (Mayhem), the Belkan Schnee Squadron were assigned as reinforcements to maintain air superiority over The Round Table because Belkan forces were heavily destroyed over Area B7R. After most of their allies were shot down by Galm Team, Schnee Squadron fought Galm Squadron, but were defeated. During the battle, Hillenberand was shot down and managed to bail out of his F-14D. Rather than wait for the rescue party to come, Hillenberand went on a three-day journey walking to the nearest air base he could possibly find, because since the Round Table had a magnetic field and the rescue team might never rescue him. He hoped to fight Cipher again but that chance never came. After the war, he retired from the Air Force and now works as a pilot instructor at Jackson Hill Airport, North Osea, a former Belkan territory.
