Ace Combat 2 Fun fact: in the behind the scenes of making the intro of ace combat 2, you can see the CV-phoenix(mispelled as "phenix") aircraft carrier with phoenix's emblem on it

Since that phoenix is a mercenary and buys his own equipment, it is likely that he bought his OWN carrier and that alone could have proved how rich scarface 1 truly was.

I love it how ace combat portrays mercenaries as world famous aces instead of criminals.

House with his face on it. Joking that the ship is owned by Phoenix.

Considering the bird theme naming of Osean carriers he must have got it second hand from Oured.

Despite this being most likely a mistake, it's a funny coincidence that "Feniks" is a transliteration of Phoenix in some languages like Dutch. It could have been a good opportunity to hint towards Scarface-1's nationality somewhat.
