The most common aircraft used by the [[Orks]], '''Fighta-Bommerz''' represent all the facets of Ork [[Kultur]]: Speed, [[Gunz]], and Noise. Fighta-Bommerz are created by the few [[Meks]] who are interested in aircraft. As with all Ork vehicles , Fighta-Bommerz are kit-bashed affairs that usually defy the laws of aerodynamics, and fly despite their ungainly, brutish construction.{{Cite This}}

==History=====Design and Construction===The [[Mek ]] will normally start out trying to build a specific type of aircraft but will soon become indecisive and hammer on as many guns, engines and [[wotsits ]] as possible. The standard Fighta-Bommer is armed with three [[Big Shoota]]s, and carries ordinance such as the [[supa-rokkit]], and the inventive Grot-[[Bombz]]. While a relatively good dog-fighter, Fighta-Bommerz rely on their heavy armament and reinforced armor plating to make up for a lack of speed and maneuverability when compared to other aircraft¹{{Fn|3}}. The uses for the Ork Fighta-Bommer are rather limited. While generally more durable, the craft is easily outclassed by similar craft flown by the [[Imperial Navy]], the [[Tau]] [[Air Caste]], or the [[Eldar]] fleets.{{Cite This}} The Evil Suns clan has some appreciation for the craft due to its blistering speed{{Fn|1a}}. The most famous Fighta-Bommer is the dreaded "Vulcha", one of the oldest and longest serving of its kind. This is the personal courier of the infamous Boss [[Zagstruk]], leader of the elite "Vulcha Squad"{{Fn|1c}}. These [[Stormboyz]] used their aging Fighta-Bommerz to make deep strikes onto enemy positions by recklessly jumping from the Vulcha's bomb bays and firing their [[Rokkit Pack]]s at the last minute. The tactical advantages of this maneuver (barring any Rokkit-related mishaps) may seem fairly obvious, but they haven't been adopted by other Stormboy units, most likely because of the difficulty of retaining Meks with the skill needed to build a functioning Fighta-Bommer{{Fn|1b}}.

==HistoryAppearance in the Video Games==The uses for In the Ork Fighta-Bommer are rather limited. While generally more durablevideo games [[Warhammer 40, the craft is easily outclassed by similar craft flown by the Imperial Navy, the Tau Air Caste, or the Eldar fleets. Throughout the 000: Dawn of War|Dawn of War]] and [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War- Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]] , there are no air campaigns the , but Fighta-Bommerz made frequent appearances as a Courier Dropship which dropped appear to drop the various [[gubbins ]] needed to assemble Ork base structures². [[Orkamungus]] used the Fighta-Bommer in this role, as did Warlord [[Gorgutz]] 'Ead 'Unta on Lorn V and again on Kronus. Finally in the Kaurava system, Warlord Gorgutz would actually use the craft in a limited combat role as an aerial support unit^{{Fn|4. While the Evil Suns clan has some appreciation for the craft due to its blistering speed^}}{{Fn|5, Gorgutz remains the only Warboss known to use the Fighta-Bommerz in this way}}.

The most famous Fighta-Bommer is the dreaded "Vulcha"In [[Warhammer 40, one of the oldest and longest serving of its kind. This is the personal courier 000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm]], during the Infamous Boss Zagstruk[[Kaurava]] campaign, leader of the elite "Vulcha Squad"^{craft appears in a limited combat role as an aerial support unit{{Fn|6}}}. These Stormboyz used their aging Fighta-Bomma to make deep strikes onto enemy positions by reckessly jumping from the Vulcha's bomb bays and firing their Rokkit Packs at the last minute. The tactical advantages of this maneuvre (barring any Rokkit-related mishaps) may seem fairly obvious, but they haven't been adopted by other Stormboy units, most likely because of Gorgutz remains the difficulty of retaining Meks with only Warboss known to use the skill needed to build a functioning Fighta-Bommer⁷Bommerz in this way.
