The VF-1A Valkyrie was a three-mode variable fighter. It was mass production version of the Valkyrie and was flown by most pilots in the RDF. Most of these veritechs were painted with a brown and white color scheme, earning the nickname "Brownies". It became known among the Zentraedi as "Cannon Fodder".
Jack Archer, Ben Dixon, and Maximillian Sterling all flew VF-1As during the first part of their careers, each with a unique color scheme. Rick Hunter also flew a regular one during his RDF training.
Behind the scenes[]
VF-1As are mistakenly drawn as VF-1D Valkyries in "Wedding Bells".
