Background:
The 4th AFU is another Mercenary Squadron also stationed at Valais Air Base. The Crow Team is made up of three members, who commonly joke with one another, mostly on the youngest member, Crow Three.

This unit commonly worked with Ustian Military Forces for defense missions. They begin Offensive missions on May 23rd, 1995; the same day of the attack on the Excalibur.

Their offensive operations continued as they began to commonly work along side the Ustian 66th AFU Galm. They are seen battling along side the Galm Team during Operation Judgement, Operation Battle-Axe, Operation Cannibal and Operation Ravage.

O June 6th, 1995, the day of the Nuclear detonations all radio communications are lost during a bomber intercept mission and in the following confusion it is believed that Crow One and Two are shot down or were brought down by the nuclear blasts, however this is not confirmed and they are marked as MIA. Only Crow Three, survives the conflict.

Since then, the unit is technically disbanded. Crow Three then begins to operate with the 66th AFU after that. PJ is killed by the end of the war after an unseen and unexpected incident.

Call Sign: Crow 1

The pilot of the second postition of the Crow Team. He sounds as though he is older than the other two members of the Crow Team and commonly heckles 'PJ' about his relationship with a woman back at Valais Air Base.

Although a capable pilot, he appears to be young and slighly naive often stating that he is "fighting to stop the fighting." He apparently traveled across the Osean continent by motorcycle, after he finished High School. He also had a relationship with a woman at Valais Air Base and commonly was heckled by Crow One and Two, throughout the war.

‘PJ’ is a pilot that flies for Valais Air Base's Crow Team. He flies an F-16C with a white heart painted on it's right side.. PJ flies with Galm One, when Pixy is not part of the unit.

At the end of the war PJ's F-16C is heavily damaged and loses control. Wether he survives or not is unknown, so he is marked as MIA. Though, it is believed he died when they find is aircraft's crash site.
