In _Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta_ , ep 8: A seagull-crested aquamarine plane
piloted by a ridiculously skilled person helps Kal-el.

We later learn that Levamme is coming to help them. (I have not seen the last
episodes yet).

**Is the pilot of that plane Charles, from _The Princess and Pilot_?**

I think the light novels might shed some light on it, but my Japanese reading
skills suck.

Is Charles the pilot of the seagull plane?


I haven't read the _Koiuta_ light novels, but according to [this guy on
Chiebukuro](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q11120081821)
and [the Wikipedia article for
_Koiuta_](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%A8%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E9%A3%9B%E7%A9%BA%E5%A3%AB%E3%81%B8%E3%81%AE%E6%81%8B%E6%AD%8C#.E7.A5.9E.E8.81.96.E3.83.AC.E3.83.B4.E3.82.A1.E3.83.BC.E3.83.A0.E7.9A.87.E5.9B.BD),
there are strong indications that the pilot of the seagull plane is, in fact,
Charles KARINO from _The Princess and the Pilot_. However, this is never made
explicit. There is apparently a scene in the fourth volume where he and Kal-el
have a conversation, but despite this, his name is never revealed.

The _Koiuta_ light novels are complete (no further volumes are expected to be
published), so this is probably as good an answer as you're going to get.
