But still, I don't see how mentioning the appearance of the aircraft in Ace Combat could be "cluttering" the article any more than its appearance in any other form of culture.  For example, in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, the aircraft employed by The Shop could have easily been, say, a MiG.  So you see, there's no particular reason why the mention of Ace Combat is any different from any other form of media/culture.
