Thirty-three years ago, the mysterious aliens known as the JAM tried to invade Earth through an interdimensional passageway they established in Antarctica. The conflict has shifted to Fairy, the home planet of the JAM, and deadly air battles rage almost continuously above its surface. Lt. Rei Fukai serves in the elite Special Air Force, whose mission is to collect data on the enemy. An alienated loner, Rei's only bonds emotionally with Major Jack Bukhar, his commander and friend, and Yukikaze, the super-sophisticated computer system of his plane, the B-3. Yukikaze boasts intense action scenes and unusually snazzy special effects, including some skillfully directed aerial dogfights.
