Because the name of the primary character's squadron in "Attention on Deck!" (my novel) is "The Streak Eagles."  The Streak Eagle wasn't used for testing IIRC, but record breaking. 

I suppose record breaking is more accurate.

(I love it when people talk to me like I have no clue about aviation. Hahaha!  )

No need to get defensive. I was just asking.

Easy enough:

Club M

Yamato

I don't get why you call it a "Streak Eagle" Valk.

The actual "Streak Eagle" was an F-15A used in flight testing.

I never had Jetfire (though I wanted him desperately) and I never had any of the old Takatoku/Bandai toys. My very first Valk was actually a model and it was a U.S. release, so it was a "veritech" not a Valk. <_< It was a VF-1J released by Revell here in the U.S. It was surely not an original Revell mold, but I'm not sure who released it in Japan...I guess Imai.

My first Valk after that was the Yamato 1/72 YF-21 that I got a few years ago.

I'm not a big enough fan of the monster to justify the cost. I can't control myself when it comes to Valks, but I don't think I'll have a problem passing on this one.

I would not be the least bit surprised if Yamato releases every 1/60 Valk that they've done in 1/48 scale as well, plus a few more. They seem to be runnin' with this 1/48 thing and the only thing left in 1/60, as far as the VF-1 is concerned, is a TV Max 1A, a Kakizaki 1A, and GPB armor (I don't think they'd bother with a 1/60 Max/Hikaru VF-1S at this point).

Sorry if this is redundant, but I didn't notice any other threads that were dedicated solely to the VT-1 that consisted of general chit-chat about the product as a whole. My enthusiasm for the 1/60 line has been on a steady decline since the 1/48 VF-1S was released, but I still got the VT-1 and VE-1 "just because." I'm pretty happy with Yamato's take on the Super Ostrich, and I know it's been a while since I watched DYRL, but why the hell is Jack in the back seat?
