In concert, Satsuki occasionally duets with Mina. Satsuki's preference for such close-quarters combat is reflected by the design of her personal aircraft, an agile air superiority fighter similar in design to the Mikoyan MiG-29 or the Sukhoi Su-27 with a performance envelope comparable, perhaps superior to an F/A-18 Hornet. Fortunately, she is able to restart her engines and level out. She is eventually tagged, but her aircraft stalls and falls. During a 'turkey-shoot' with the group SNAP, her sisters are swiftly taken out, but despite her best efforts to present an easy target, the incompetence of her opponents wears out her patience, prompting her to bring the F-14 she is flying to a nose-up stop in mid air. It is actually her flying that gets the girls noticed by their producer. Satsuki's speciality is dogfighting and close-quarters engagement.

They are also one of the ace fighter pilot squadrons in the Japanese military. The five Toreishi sisters, Kanna, Yayoi, Satsuki, Uzuki and Mina, are teenage idol singers who are collectively known as The Hummingbirds. Most reject the idea as a joke, but some show business-oriented companies catch up on the idea, spawning the birth of a new type of idol: the so-called "Idol Pilots", celebrity combat pilots. One day in the near future, the Japanese Self-Defense Force decides to transfer the command (and financing) of their air force to private companies and investors. It was adapted into an anime series consisting of 4 OVA episodes that ran from 1993 to 1995.
