Line 27:
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: [[In-Universe]]. The FALKEN's description says it's a prototype plane the Belkans are engineering. You are given a message saying that special plane parts have been located when you discover them in the game, basically lampshading that you are unlocking an [[Infinity+1 Sword]]. However, the FALKEN itself is never encountered or mentioned anywhere in the story.
* [[A Birthday, Not a Break]]: Grimm reveals that his birthday is coming up next week during a [[Action Film Quiet Drama Scene|quiet break]] between the two final battles.
* [[Boss Remix]]: Several: First is Burst Missile, played when you encounter your first [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|burst missile]] which is a darker, slower sounding version of the Scinfaxi and Hrimfaxi themes. Then we receive Mother Goose 1, which takes motifs from Mask, played in the mission "8492." The same motif is
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Edge has incarnations that appeared all the way from ''[[Ace Combat 2]]'', where her callsign is the same, and her rough features are the same, and in ''[[Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere]]'' (the Japanese version), where in a very specific news broadcast that you can only view in taking a specific path, you can see a person's photograph below Dision's, clearly spelling Kei Nagase, with a very similar face as ''the'' Kei Nagase that we know. ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies|Shattered Skies]]'' has a brave airline first officer who tries to control a plane after terrorists shoot the pilot: Nagase. This shouldn't be that surprising though, check the article below.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Most of the orders and chatter fall under this, especially grievous when characters make comments like, "The sub's diving!" 20 seconds after it actually does.
Line 68:
** This extends to the second man in two-seater aircraft as well - the Su-34 and A-6 in particular, which have seats aligned more like a car than a plane, doesn't allow you to look very far to the sides in cockpit view, just to prevent you from getting a close look at your co-pilot.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Captain Bartlett diverts a missile from Nagase's six and is shot down over the Sand Island coast at the beginning of the game. Rescue crews are unable to find him, and his fate is never made clear until, near the game's end, it is revealed that he was picked up by a Yuktobanian ship and escaped from custody before he could be put into a POW camp. He later joined a Yuke resistance movement and sent mission data to the Kestrel, taking to the skies again in order to assist Razgriz Squadron in the battle at Sudentor.}}
**
* [[Hold the Line]]: In mission 17, the player is tasked with defending November City from a Yuktobanian air strike until reinforcements arrive.
* [[Instant Death Radius]]: The radar coverage circles in the Solitaire mission will fail you for flying into them. The earlier mission Handful of Hope plays around with this, in that ''you'' can fly through said circles just fine, but then the transport plane you're leading will follow you and get shot at by friendly SAMs.
Line 74:
* [[Interface Screw]]: There is one during a briefing when {{spoiler|a missile hits the Kestrel.}}
* [[It's a Wonderful Failure]]: If you [[Take Your Time]] in the final mission and don't complete the objective until the timer runs out, you get treated to a short cutscene of {{spoiler|the SOLG vaporizing Oured}}.
* [[It's Raining Men]]: The raid on the Arkbird's linear
* [[Joke Character|Joke Plane]]: The Hawk T.1, a mere training aircraft for rookies. Add insult to injury in that there's a painfully long mission where you HAVE to fly that thing... and can't fight back during.
** [[Lethal Joke Character|Lethal Joke Plane]]: The Hawk T.1 in every other mission is armed with QAAMs.
Line 115:
* [[Story-Driven Invulnerability]]: {{spoiler|Captain Hamilton}}. You ''can'' damage him, but you can't shoot him down.
** Actually, in the last mission, you ''can'' shoot him down in the big open area. He just ''gets a new plane and comes after you again''.
* [[Stupid Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Chopper.}} He deliberately crashes his damaged plane into a recently-evacuated stadium in the middle of a city, ostensibly to avoid civilian casualties. The "stupid" part comes from the fact that he could have aimed for any number of other places, most obviously the large body of water next to the city, which would've allowed him to eject safely without endangering
* [[Tagalong Reporter]]: Albert Genette. Justified by the fact that his article on the Wardogs are pretty much the only thing he is known for. Plus, {{spoiler|his close association with them would have probably made him a traitor in the command's eyes, too}}.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Captain Bartlett does this for Nagase early on.
