*An unarmed VF-1 Valkyrie docked in Independence-1's hangar earlier today, piloted by a woman recognizable to anyone who cares about such things as Macross 7's mayor.  Apparently she's decided to make an informal tour of the GDF, which like most tours involves bothering anyone who looks remotely off-duty/tags this post*

So this is the GDF, then?  My

Is that a VF-1!?

[ace_mayor]

Why yes it is. You're familiar with VFs, then.

[toocooltodie]

Well enough. How do you even find the parts for that thing?

[ace_mayor]

It's tricky, certainly. I'm always keeping an eye on the surplus market, and I maintain what's already in there as long as possible. Fortunately most of the minor mechanical parts that wear out easily are the same in VF-11s and -17s. It's not until you get up to your AVFs like the Excalibur that parts aren't compatible anymore.

*staring at the VF-1*

I almost feel like this should be in a museum. How does it handle?

[ace_mayor]

Museum? Hmph.

The same as it always has. A Valkyrie's real performance depends on the pilot, not the engine output.
