History Manhwa / FlightHighschool

** In one strip, J-31 can be seen playing ''VideoGame/Battlefield4'' which she gets from F-35, with her commenting about J-20's appearance in the game. In the same chapter, J-10 also reminisces about her days in ''[[VideoGame/Battlefield Battlefield 2]]''.

* BeachEpisode: Chapter 19 is spent at the pool.

** In one strip, J-31 can be seen playing ''VideoGame/Battlefield4'' with her commenting about J-20's appearance in the game.

* WidgetSeries: ''Flight High School'' is a Widget Series and proud of it. Heck, the author even admits it in the page quote!

** The way the [[BuxomIsBetter payload capacity]] of a plane is often treated.

* BerserkButton: For J-20, it's making fun of China, proving she can be [[NotSoAboveItAll just as immature and childish]] as F-35.

* CuteClumsyGirl: True to their inspirations, F-104 and Yak-38 are quite clumsy.

[[caption-width-right:350:An [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters incomplete picture of all the characters]] in Flight Highschool. See entry below for a full list.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: To say there are a lot of characters in Flight Highschool would be a bit of an understatement. If it's a modern fighter jet, bomber, transport, AWACS, etc., chances are they've appeared in some capacity by now.
** [[https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15133164/charsheet-updated.jpg There's now a color reference guide featuring all 79 characters as of Flight School #24.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: The student council, consisting entirely of AEW&C aircraft, wears glasses to represent their various radars and sensors.

* NondescriptClub: The 5th Gen Club doesn't do much other than hang out before and after school.

** F/A-18 and F-16 antagonize each other quite a bit.

The students of the school are the personifications of American, European, Russian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese military aircraft ranged from mid-UsefulNotes/ColdWar era to the present day. Nearly everything you see and read in them is a reference or play on the planes themselves, the aviation industry, or current military aviation events.

* ShoutOut: The aircraft (or the avatar of the aircraft) that Su-47 is talking to over the internet is the similarly forward-swept winged ASF-X Shinden II from ''VideoGame/AceCombat''.

** [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-100_(missile) Here's the Wikipedia article on it]]. Notice it is nicknamed [[CaptainObvious AWACS Killer]].

* CuteButCacophonic: The Tu-95 and Tu-142. Those prop turbines mean... good luck trying to sneak. Or, just sitting still quietly when even a little excited, talking, yawning, writing or what have you.

''Flight Highschool'' is a {{Manhwa}} turned [[KoreanWebtoon Korean Webcomic]] drawn by anyan [[http://blog.naver.com/jk100687]], taking place in a high school populated predominantly by [[MoeAnthropomorphism Moe Anthropomorphised]] military aircraft as they go about [[SliceOfLife their daily lives]].

* AmusingInjuries - Apparently, the only effect of a dogfight between F-35 and J-20 is some InstantBandages on their face.
* BeachEpisode - Chapter 19 is spent at the pool.
* BerserkButton - For J-20, it's making fun of China, proving she can be [[NotSoAboveItAll just as immature and childish]] as F-35.
* BigEater - F-14 is shown to be this.
* BitchInSheepsClothing - Yak-38 warns Harrier that Predator is this, but Harrier doesn't believe her.
* BrattyHalfPint - X-47B, in contrast to her friend, the [[ChildrenAreInnocent sweet and innocent]] [[IronicName MQ-1 Predator]].
* BreakoutCharacter - According to WordOfGod, the popular F-35 has become the closest thing the series has to a main character and usually appears at least once per chapter.
* ButtMonkey - Rafale
* CameraFiend - U-2 always has her camera at the ready, looking for a scoop. This doesn't often sit well with others. SR-71 was this as well before she retired.
* ChildhoodFriends - Due to their common origins, Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale are portrayed as this.
* ColorFailure - The reaction of the AWACS Student Council when C-5 Galaxy reveals that the "thing" she dropped is a...Minuteman[[note]]Which is ''a nuclear warhead'', although in real life it was an air launch test instead of an accidental drop. Compare the A-4 incident in the Empty Quiver entry below[[/note]].
* CrazyPrepared - Mild example. F-16 was thirsty, but when F/A-18 offers her some water, it was a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_refueling#Probe-and-drogue_2 probe-and-drogue]] straw[[note]]The F/A-18 Hornet can in fact refuel other aircrafts via buddy tanking, but like the comic referenced, it only supports a probe-and-drogue system. With other Hornets, this is not a problem. However, the F-16 can only refuel via [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_refueling#Flying_boom flying boom]] arrangement[[/note]]. Luckily, F-16 came prepared with [[http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4163.html CARTS]] (Conformal Air Refueling Tank System). Cue F-16 downing the entire bottle.
* CuteButCacophonic - The Tu-95 and Tu-142. Those prop turbines mean... good luck trying to sneak. Or, just sitting still quietly when even a little excited, talking, yawning, writing or what have you.
* CuteClumsyGirl - True to their inspirations, F-104 and Yak-38 are quite clumsy.
* CutenessProximity - A... very odd case. Don't go into supersonic anywhere near the [=MiG-25=]. You will need to kick it up a notch to avoid the glomp. Mach speeds are apparently... cute.
* DeliveryStork - When Predator asks where baby planes come from, F-16 butts in and makes up a story in which planes start as models, then grow into 1:1 scale mock-ups, and then are born as prototypes.
* DitzyGenius - F-35. She's pretty smart despite all appearances to the contrary.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything - Surprisingly many examples:

* DynamiteCandle - Uh... [=MiG-29=]? Do people ''always'' need to have [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALE-50_Towed_Decoy_System countermeasures]] on stand-by when you hand out birthday cakes? Or is the F-16 just special?

* ExpressiveHair - [=MiG-25=] "Foxbat" has a hairstyle resembling ears which perks up when she gets excited.
* ExtracurricularEnthusiast - F-16 is known for trying to help and participate in ''everything''.
* EyeBeams - Somewhat reversed with YAL-1. It's not so much that she can shoot lasers out of her eyes but that she can see out of her laser turret.
* {{Fangirl}} - F-35 idolizes and wants to be like Harrier.
* FriendlyRival - As in real life, there are several of these.

* GloryDays - F-14 is very vocal about how much she misses her popularity and status while in service.
* HairTriggerTemper - F-2 has to be physically held back or else she'll follow through.
* HeroicComedicSociopath - Go ahead, [[ChainsawGood make the]] [[SlasherSmile A-10's]] day: peek on her girls. Double dare you when you see what's in her bag.

* {{Hikikomori}} - The Sukhoi family is worried that Su-47 will become this.
* HugeSchoolgirl - The large transport planes such as C-5 and An-225 tower over the majority of the girls.
* IdleRich - As the "princess" of the Lockheed family, F-35 is quite rich and has no qualms spending her (or other's) money.
* IJustWantToBeNormal - Su-47 and V-22 both have unique designs, but would prefer to be normal.
* ImagineSpot - The otherwise ground-borne F-22 imagines herself wearing a bikini so that she can swim (read: having a carrier-based variant). F-15E flatly tells her that it isn't happening.
* InnocentlyInsensitive - F-35 in a lot of ways.
* InterspeciesRomance - As much as anthropomorphized space stations and aircraft count as different species anyway. When U-2 thinks the space shuttle Buran is An-225's daughter, she asks if the space station Mir is the father.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters - To say there are a lot of characters in Flight Highschool would be a bit of an understatement. If it's a modern fighter jet, bomber, transport, AWACS, etc., chances are they've appeared in some capacity by now.

* MamaBear - A-10 is [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend violently protective]] of the girls in the school.
* {{Meganekko}} - The student council, consisting entirely of AEW&C aircraft, wears glasses to represent their various radars and sensors.
* MistakenIdentity - F-35 mistakes the British Harrier [=GR9=] for the American Harrier AV-8B. She accuses [=GR9=] of being a {{Doppelganger}}.
* MistakenForPregnant - U-2 takes the "Son of Blackbird" moniker for the SR-72 as proof that SR-71 secretly got knocked up and naturally makes a scandalous news story out of it. SR-71 is not amused.
* ModestyBedsheet - F-15SE is still wearing something under that sheet but since her payload capacity is still classified...
* MoeAnthropomorphism - All the characters are military aircraft as high school girls. The plane they represent is usually seen on their back to make it easier to figure out who's who as well as for the occasional visual gag.
* NondescriptClub - The 5th Gen Club doesn't do much other than hang out before and after school.
* NotSoAboveItAll - [=MiG-29=] arguing with and trying to impress the drones, specifically [[BrattyHalfPint X-47B]].
* ObliviousToHints - Tu-95 is blissfully unaware of the torment her "habit" causes others, no matter how much they try to tell her otherwise.
* OldShame[[invoked]] - AV-8B... and those Pepsi adverts. Don't remind her.
* OneGenderSchool - All the boys that have so far appeared in the series have been from other schools.

* ParentalSubstitute - Buran apparently considers Mriya (An-225) her mother because [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Antonov_An-225_with_Buran_at_Le_Bourget_1989_Manteufel.jpg she gives her piggyback rides every day.]]
* PerpetualSmiler - Despite losing the JSF competition, and despite [[PerpetualFrowner YF-23's]] best efforts, X-32 remains cheerful and happy no matter what she's doing.
* UsefulNotes/PlaneSpotting - Practically the premise of the series.
* TheResenter - YF-23 to F-22. She's still bitter about losing the ATF competition to her.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense - Many of the aircraft with expensive programs are prone to this.

* TheRival - As in real life, there are several of these. Not all the planes are the friendly version of this.

* SchoolgirlSeries - But with planes!
* SchoolIdol - F-22 is looked up to by many of the student body.
* ShrinkingViolet - Being the odd one out of the Sukhoi family, Su-47 is this.
* ShoutOut - The aircraft (or the avatar of the aircraft) that Su-47 is talking to over the internet is the similarly forward-swept winged ASF-X Shinden II from ''VideoGame/AceCombat''.
* ShownTheirWork - Too many examples to list all of them, but the artist has a very obvious interest in modern military aviation. Nearly everything in the comics from the situations that happen to the character design is a reference to the plane itself or current events in the industry. To name just a couple examples:

* SpoiledBrat - Although mostly benign, F-35 does show shades of this.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute - F-35 is initially distraught upon discovering that the new student, the Chinese J-31, looks nearly identical to her. Later she warms to her and starts proclaimer her to be her sister.
* TheTalk - The Predator drone, after having asked [=MiG-29=] on how "baby planes are made", is even more curious in a later strip. Unfortunately, F-16 isn't exactly well-versed herself...
* TeamChef - [[TeamMom KC-767]] always has food with her, looking for hungry planes to feed.
* ThrowTheDogABone - After never having found a customer for years on end, Rafale finally wins the Indian MMRCA.
* {{Tomboy}} - Both ground attack planes: A-10 and Su-25.
* WidgetSeries - ''Flight High School'' is a Widget Series and proud of it. Heck, the author even admits it in the page quote!

* TeamChef - [[TeamMom KC-737]] always has food with her, looking for hungry planes to feed.

* {{Tomboy}} - Both ground attack planes: A-10 and Su-25.
