The F-1 is a ground attack aircraft.
History[]
Strangereal[]
The F-1 saw limited use in the Strangereal world.
The F-1 was used in the Belkan War by the Belkan Air Force. A notable pilot was Daniel Bierofka, callsign Wetterhahn. Bierofka attempted to attack the 3rd Osean Naval Fleet during the Operation Costner portion of Offensive Campaign No. 4101, but he was shot down by the Galm Team.[1]
Another notable F-1 pilot was Hariman Reinhardt, callsign Biene, an F-1 ace who possessed an F-1 with a unique, personal paint scheme. Hariman attempted to defend the Schayne Plains during Operation Dynamo, but he was shot down by the Galm Team as they fled southwards from Excalibur's laser strikes.[2]
During the Aurelian War, the F-1 was operated by the Leasath Air Force. Four of these served as bomber escorts during the failed attack on Aubrey Air Base, and one was the aircraft of choice for the Leasath ace Shiva. Aurelian Air Force pilot Rick also kept a spare F-1.
Joint Assault universe[]
During the Valahia Crisis, Antares Squadron has access to the aircraft.

Trivia[]
- Color 5 (C05) in ACJA is replica one F-1 from 6th Squadron (Hikotai). In 2004, F-1 00-8235 was painted in these markings to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force).
