The only reason why Miku isn't flying a Jag is because the only picture I found for her that I liked was in a Navy uniform.

The Jaguar was originally supposed to be Naval-capable, and got as far as carrier trials with the French Navy, but wasn't carried through at the final stages. It's in the info on the wiki page for the Jag, as well as elsewhere on t'internet. 
I'm pretty sure that Rafale wouldn't have minded if we'd taken that idea and ran with it, since this is Ace Combat and all, and not the real world.
