Takanashi Hoshino

Takanashi Hoshino is the president of the Abydos Student Council and the only third-year of Abydos High School, and the current chairwoman for the Countermeasures Commitee.

Speaking like a senile aunt, she enjoys playing around and napping more than work. Because of this, she usually gets scolded by the rest of the Committee. But, once the mission starts, she protects her comrades by fighting valiantly on the front lines. Since accepting the title of student council president, she has gradually brightened up. Perhaps this is the real Hoshino.

She has pink hair with a cowlick reaching to her legs. She has heterochromia of blue and orange eyes.

Story

Hoshino flies the F-16C Fighting Falcon, its the Block 72 variant and has been modified a bit. The F-16 is bought from the same Dealer that sells the FA-18 that Shiroko has. The plane itself has its own story, it was from a pilot that has a weird obsession on the Horus egyptian god. The pilot disappeared after an Air Raid on its homebase, lefting its precious F-16 to be abandoned. The only thing left by the pilot that is still there that is the Horus logo on the left wing, the dealer didnt eraese it as a form of respect to the original owner of the aircraft.

F-16's irl information

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft with over 4,600 built since 1976. Although no longer purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are being built for export. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

The F-16 's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for enhanced cockpit visibility, a side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, an ejection seat reclined 30 degrees from vertical to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system that helps to make it an agile aircraft. The fighter has a single turbofan engine, an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 hardpoints. Although officially named "Fighting Falcon", the aircraft is more commonly known by the nickname "Viper".

In addition to active duty in the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team, the US Air Combat Command F-16 Viper Demonstration Team, and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. The F-16 has also been procured by the air forces of 25 other nations. As of 2024, it is the world's most common fixed-wing aircraft in military service, with 2,145 F-16s operational.

A large number of variants of the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon have been produced by General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and various licensed manufacturers. The details of the F-16 variants, along with major modification programs and derivative designs significantly influenced by the F-16 , are described below.
