Changes: Jack Bartlett

Revision as of 03:31, 25 October 2013

"I hate not being able to move in three dimensions. Cramps my style."

― Jack Bartlett

Jack "Heartbreak One" Bartlett (ジャック·バートレットJakku Bātoretto), that was borned during 1968, was the leader and flight instructor of the 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron from the Sand Island Detachment.

Though he would never show it, Bartlett would give his life for his wingmen.

Details

"His nickname was also "Kid" back then."

― Pops, Ace Combat 5 (scene #20, "Ancient Walls #1")

Bartlett, although a very talented pilot, has had a notorious history of being unable to comply with orders given, opting instead to follow his conscience. Bartlett cares for all the trainees under his command (referring to them as nuggets), and he secretly admires Kei Nagase skill when she defends herself after being attacked before the start of the war.

He also seem to notice Blaze's skill, so he gave Blaze his old nickname "Kid". Thus, Blaze became his favorite pupil.

His last recorded sortie was when he destroyed one of the two SOLG controls in Sudentor. Bartlett survived the final mission, but nothing more is knowed about what happened to him and the members from his squadron. It is known that after the war in 1995 he was never promoted again in part for his insubordination.

Trivia

During the takeoff sequence of Mission 04, a voice very similar to Bartlett's can be heard speaking twice, first saying "They're gonna be annihilated on the tarmac if we don't get them airborne!" and "Whatever you do, don't crash into the airfield!", albeit not always in this order.
He also appears in an F-14D Super Tomcat on Ace Combat Zero on Mission 10 in the mercenary ace style.
