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 [[Jump 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}}.
