Figured I'd add some more profiles while the creative juices were peculating. While these girls had the greatest screentime in The Jet Age, they still did pop up in the series proper:

Me-262

The youngest daughter of the Messerschmitt clan, this little wunderkind first appears in "Wunderwaffe," causing all sorts of headaches for Coach Arnold's bomber team. Unfortunately for this flaxen-haired half-pint, headaches are something she's all too familiar with. A sickly child from birth who still suffered from poor endurance into her adolescence, she was the subject of a disagreement between her father who wanted a place for her on Germania's fighter team as "Swallow" and the Headmaster who insisted she serve on the badly-mauled bomber team as "Stormbird." She makes her only other appearance in "Ride of the Valkyrie," where she tangles with Columbia High star player P-51, losing in a surprise upset after being plagued with endurance problems again.

Meteor

Hurry's little sister, Meteor first makes the scene in "Bug Hunt" alongside close friend Tempest, where she manages to trick V-1 into flying into the ground after her guns jam. Like her big sister, she sports light brown hair and blue eyes, but wears the former longer and uses makeup to accentuate the latter in an effort to be more like her idol Spitfire. While Coach Hill is impressed with her potential, he feels she still needs refinement, sending her on recon and bombing missions to gain experience. She has a cameo appearance in "In At The Death," trading the standard Britannia uniform for an all-white affair while she takes pictures that help the Allied teams plan for their final game against Germania.

P-80

Officially, P-38's sister and Columbia High's secret weapon goes by the name "Shooting Star" or "Star," but to her father Mr. Johnson and the Lockheed team, she'll always be "Lulu Belle." Her only appearance before TJA! is in "Catch A Falling Star," where she competes with P-59 at Columbia High's Muroc Testing Center for the only open slot in the fighter team's line-up. Sporting the same glossy blonde hair and good looks as her older sister, P-80 chooses to keep her hair in a short pageboy style for convenience, as she's always caught up in testing of one kind or another. She also wears a set of olive-drab coveralls, same as P-59, though with the Lockheed company logo on opposite her nametag "S. Lockheed," and a patch on her right shoulder of a stylized cartoon skunk.
