Or how many female pilots can you recall in the UNSpacy of the original Macross? (And no, Milia doesn't count, as she wasn't exactly a regular Spacy pilot).  :D<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Actually, there could have been quite a few. However, since the series focused on Hikaru Ichijo, and those immediately surrounding him, We see a very small perchentage of the actual fighter compliment of the SDF-1 Macross.<br/><br/>On the day of the SDF-1's launch (Feb 7, 2009) the SDF-1 had a compliment of 212 VF-1 Valkryies Fighters. 120 VF-1A, 12 VF-1D (trainers), 50 VF-1J, 30 VF-1S. The docking of the Prometheus added an addition 150 variable fighters, but the break down is not listed. For a total of 270. Going up even further to 300+ Super VF-1s after Feb 10, 2010<br/><br/>For the DYRL Version of the SDF-1 the ship's compliment of VF-1 Valkryies was the same, but with the inclusion of the ARMDs docked to the ship boosted the Macross's fighter compliment by 262 VF-1s Each for a total compliment of  644 VF-1 Fighters. Again, compliment break down not included.<br/><br/>So yes, the likely hood of female pilots, particularly in the circumstances that the Macross was in during both the Movie, and the Original Series would lend it self to be a fair amount of female pilots through simple attrition.
