Yeah. I also liked the MiG-31 firefox. Had a "Mind Controlled" system similar to the Falken's COFFIN system I think. It even had the reverse-fired missiles too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_(film)

This brings up something I wanted to ask. Do we consider space fighters capable of atmospheric operation "aircraft"? Or conversely, aircraft capable of spaceflight? Where should we draw the line? Personally I think that any primarily spaceborn vehicle that is merely capable of operating within the atmosphere should be disqualified. This rules out stuff like Firefly, Starship Voyager, etc. TIE fighters can land on the surface, but you wouldn't call them aircraft. Stuff like the F-302 is different, though. Yes it's a space fighter, but like Reagy said, the F-302 is mostly designed for atmospheric flight.

Can't find a good picture but I've always been a fan of the Hammerhead VTOLs from MGS4/Revengeance, they're basically helicopters with a big wide rotor they can lock in place to use as a wing and fly like regular jets https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/542/366c1383-9555-40e2-b841-42c8d3475934/Custom_Hammerhead_blueprints.jpg

I've always loved the aesthetic of the UNSC Frigates from Halo https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/9/9b/HR_UNSCFrigate_Grafton.png/revision/latest?cb=20131031014934
See? This is what I mean. Not an aircraft.

The Orca VTOL from Command and Conquer. Most of them are pretty neat but the OG Orca from Tiberian Dawn is best https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/208392/59c9ece1-46d8-4f21-a04d-36bf239d485a/Orca_Fighter_2.jpg

I love the ADF-01 FALKEN from Ace Combat.
If you're gonna post space craft that can also go into the atmosphere then https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/stargate/images/7/72/AsuranCity-ship.jpg Have a flying city.

https://i.imgur.com/kSbrwUq.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10wV05aNu9o Really liked the Sanka Mk. B (basically the J7W1), even though it got shot up so many times in Sky Crawlers.
