==Overview==

Fighta-Bommers are larger and sturdier Ork aircraft when compared to the likes of [[Fighta]]s or [[Dakkajet]]s. They are built to satisfy the Orkish trait of might makes right, and are thus heavily armored armoured and armed. The [[Flyboyz]] of these craft tend to be larger and more dominant members of Ork society, often having started out as humble Dakkajet pilots. Where in other Ork Clans these would have gone on to become [[Nobz]], here they pilot the more privileged machines of a warband's aircraft inventory. These veteran pilots lead underlings into battle and form retinues of their own, and in time may become [[Fly Boss]]es themselves.{{Fn|5}}
===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 Bomb]]s. While a relatively good dog-fighter, Fighta-Bommerz rely on their heavy armament and reinforced armor armour plating to make up for a lack of speed and maneuverability when compared to other aircraft{{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 Marker End}}
The Evil Suns clan has some appreciation for the craft due to its blistering speed{{Fn|1a}}.
