"Phantom Zero"
Read the thumbnail, and you will know everything...
...well, kind of.
See, some called the F-1 the "Supersonic Reisen," arguably a more clever name given that the F-1 was Japan's first indigineously-produced supersonic jet, and Reisen being the nickname of the famed A6M Zero. But emphasis on "some called the F-1 the 'Supersoni Reisen.'" It wasn't an official nickname. So instead, I referenced the F-2... who also has no official nickname. But we all call the F-2 the Viper Zero, so I took that and called the F-1 the Phantom Zero! Which is also kinda off since the F-1 is closer to the SEPECAT Jaguar, but you know what? I'm not changing it, F-1 is Phantom Zero now and you can't stop me unless you think of a better name lol
OK enough ranting about the F-1's name situation, what can we expect from this jet, eh? I've got one word for you: agility. It's not unrealistically maneuverable, no, so don't expect to outturn an A6M or something. But its good top speed combined with a fantastic roll rate make the F-1 a nimble and swift aircraft to fly. It also has a fairly basic gatling gun, not much to see there aside from the fancy green tracers that it and the F-2 have in PEAverse.
PEA Lore:
Legend has it that F-1s are responsible for the end of the Cold War, flooding Soviet systems and media with so many pictures and info about rice that the USSR subsequently collapsed. However, this incident was allegedly an accident. Allegedly.

@Monarchii I guess you could say, rice is nice, cool as ice even
I'd get along with F-1, rice IS good.

@TheUltimatePlaneLover
It Contains a bucket.
@CrestelAeronautics No!
@rexzion
Almost like it’s… Invisible…
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
There’s more
@rexzion when the Phantom has phantom pains:
@CrestelAeronautics Dear God...
the hurt from a lack of an official nick name is some sort of.... phantom pain
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
This… places bucket in table is a bucket.
@CrestelAeronautics Where?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN SENDING IT?!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
I have done nothing but teleport bread for 3 days
@CrestelAeronautics How... much?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
You told me to
@CrestelAeronautics What?
@JSTQ For some reason, it's behind all the others (look around the earlier PEA-Gs, directly after F-106)
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
I teleported bread
… I can't find this plane on your homepage, which is strange.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yww :))
@TheUltimatePlaneLover exactly🎃
@Kerbango On one hand, I could make something spooky...
...on the other hand, I already have an F3H "Demon" that I could just modify for Halloween lol
Max 3 entries so why not both
I have your next challenge....
@SuperSuperTheSylph Thanks :D
And yes, this is now canon to the PEAverse, as all PEA-G lore is
