...snap. Oh well, thanks for telling me. Never knew about Titanium Rain though... Meh, I chose J-88 because "8" is said to be lucky (rhymes with 發 or wealth) (not that I believe it is lucky anyways-I am christian and numbers are numbers to me.)
I know, the author of TR is a Sino-American, and he know that tradition too. But he keep his outdated bias on Chinese armament, and I am not surprised to see him design a plane in that way.
