It feels so good to be back



Hinomiya Chinatsu

Enrolled at Gehenna Academy, Chinatsu is a 1st year student in charge of medical aid for the Prefect Team.

Committed to observing the rules and the proper procedures, she's one of the few sensible people on the Team, and is usually the one keeping the more unruly members like Ako and Iori from running amok.

Due to her formal way of speaking tends to give off the impression of a distant, quintessential public moral member of the board of trustees, but she's actually a sweet girl who softens up when in the presence of cute animals. Additionally, she is extremely busy, barely having some seconds to drink a tea.

She has long shoulder-length blonde hair tied in pigtails with red bands each and black ribbon hairband. She has elven ears and amber eyes with black glasses.

Story

Chinatsu flies the RA-5 Vigilante a reconnaissance-attack aircraft with a abis modification. The plane was ordered from GR-Industries, the company who supplies aircraft to Gehenna's students including the Prefect Team. Don't be fooled, it may be a reconnaissance-attack aircraft but it can kill you too in an Air-to-Air combat.

RA-5's irl information

The North American A-5 Vigilante (also known as the RA-5) is an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA) for the United States Navy. Before the 1962 unification of Navy and Air Force designations, it was designated A3J.

Development of the A-5 had started in 1954 as a private venture by NAA, who sought to produce a capable supersonic long-distance bomber as a successor to the abortive North American XA2J Super Savage. It was a large and complex aircraft that incorporated several innovative features, such as being the first bomber to feature a digital computer, while its ability to attain speeds of up to Mach 2 while carrying a nuclear strike payload was also relatively ambitious for the era. The US Navy saw the value of such a bomber, leading to a contract for its full development and production being issued to the firm on 29 August 1956. The type performed its first flight just over two years later, on 31 August 1958.

The Vigilante was introduced by the US Navy during June 1961; it succeeded the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior as the Navy's primary nuclear strike aircraft, but its service in this capacity was relatively brief due to the deemphasising of manned bombers in American nuclear strategy. A far larger quantity of the RA-5C tactical strike reconnaissance variant were also procured by the service, which saw extensive service during the Vietnam War. It also established several world records in both long-distance speed and altitude categories. During the mid-1970s, the withdrawal of the type commenced after a relatively short service life, largely due to the aircraft being expensive and complex to operate, as well being a victim of post-Vietnam military cutbacks.
