  Fighter aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for attacking other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs.
Piston-engined fighters continued to be refined and developed with increasing performance and capabilities, up until the advent of jet aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Gloster Meteor.
Fighters such as the MiG-23 and Panavia Tornado have versions specially suited for various roles, while the latest multirole warplanes including the F/A-18 Hornet and Dassault Mirage 2000 are just as suited for ground attack as they are for aerial combat.

Deighton's "Fighter" is a comprehensive non-fiction historical account of the Battle of Britain based on a tremendous amount of research and fascinating in insight.
Fighter leaves the drama behind, and in doing so the end result in not diminished; for without the drama and story lines, facts and insights based on immense research are displayed with great clarity.
To those who feel Fighter is simply 'military history', it must be stressed that the Summer of 1940 was a magnificent expression of human endeavour.

The J-10 is also the first Chinese-made fighter to be fitted with a large two-piece bubble canopy to give the pilot a better view in close air combat.

Fighter as an all-round song was not as good as Beautiful, because Beautiful had a stronger message of love and world stereotypes.
Fighter starts off with a dramatic piano intro which starts off completely different to how the rest of the song will pan out.
Overall, Fighter is a wonderful pop song which definitely stands out in 2003 as one of my favourite songs.

 Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Street Fighter Anniversary Collection ...
Street Fighter II itself saw several substantial upgrades over the years, which added new characters and new moves for the returning fighters, but the core gameplay never changed, and it didn't have to--it's timeless.
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection doesn't do much to flaunt the Street Fighter series, but there's still some excellent gameplay to be found here.
Hardcore Street Fighter II players know that some dramatic changes were made to the game's characters from one year's version to the next--mostly in an effort to balance out the various fighters' strengths and weaknesses, but also to further differentiate each respective character.

 Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution Import Preview - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
When it was released last year, the PlayStation 2 version of Virtua Fighter 4 was the best home conversion of Sega's acclaimed arcade fighting series to ever hit the market.
Of course, other aspects of the original Virtua Fighter 4 have also been expanded upon, including the roster, the character customization features, the visuals, the training mode, and even the arcade mode.
But the additions to the arcade more are pretty insignificant when viewed in light of Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution's quest mode, which is essentially a much more diverse and robust version of the kumite mode from the original Virtua Fighter 4.

 F-117A Nighthawk - Military Aircraft
The stealth fighter emerged from the classified world while stationed at Tonapah Airfield with an announcement by the Pentagon in November 1988 and was first shown publicly at Nellis in April 1990.
Although only 36 stealth fighters were deployed in Desert Storm and accounted for 2.5 percent of the total force of 1,900 fighters and bombers, they flew more than a third of the bombing runs on the first day of the war.
The stealth fighter, which is coated with a secret, radar-absorbent material, operated over Iraq and Kuwait with impunity, and was unscathed by enemy guns.

Currently the Excalibur is being used as a special forces fighter for UN Spacy deep-space missions and colonization fleets, with usually at most 3-6 VF-19s assigned per fleet on an initial evaluation basis.
Unfortunately two of the three fighters were destroyed during this operation and the third one was damaged beyond repair a short time later during the final battle of the war.
Most UN Spacy ships and variable fighters can locate and track homing signals, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.

 Fighter Aircraft - Military Aircraft
Two missions involve offensive air superiority operations to defeat enemy fighter aircraft and surface-to-air defenses within enemy territory, and three involve defensive air superiority to protect friendly territory against enemy aircraft, cruise missiles, and theater ballistic missiles.
And while air superiority missions have many components, and many types of equipment are involved, the acquisition of U.S. fighter aircraft with the capability to defeat enemy fighters and other aircraft is expected to consume about 47 percent of the resources planned for air superiority missions.
The Air Force, the Navy, and the Marines all have capabilities to defeat enemy fighters and other aircraft as a part of offensive and defensive air superiority missions using aircraft equipped with air-to-air missiles and guns.

 KUNSAN AIR BASE: How It Was - 35th & 80th Fighter Squadron Histories
During the first days of the war, the fighters were in Korea to only provide air-cover for the evacuation as the authority of General MacArthur only extended to the waters' edge of Korea.
The ADF concept was kept alive by former fighter instructor Major John Boyd and Pierre Sprey, a civilian working in the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Analysis.
With the inactivation of the 69th Fighter Squadron at Moody AFB, GA, resulting from the 347th redesignation to a Rescue Wing, the 8th FW was scheduled to receive some of the inactivated unit's F-16C/D aircraft.

 Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition Import Impressions - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
Arcade mimics the single-player Street Fighter experience and lets you work your way through a ladder of opponents on your way to face off against M. Bison (or Vega, as he's called in the Japanese game).
The game announcer, however, is the sketchy one used in the Super Street Fighter games who, in our opinion, lacked the good old-fashioned authoritative bass of the classic announcer from the previous entries in the series.
Purists may be dismayed to hear that while all the aforementioned versions of Street Fighter are represented by the different gameplay styles from each, the game's presentation follows that of Super Street Fighter II, which includes the unfortunate announcer and Q-sound.

 Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Review from GameZone.com
It’s the Street Fighter II game but with a mixture of ingredients from the different versions of Street Fighter II that were released.
So it’s possible to have a showdown between the original Street Fighter II Ryu and Super Street Fighter II’s version of Ken. This is a great mix up for gamers wanting to see the differences between the different versions of Street Fighter II.
As the name states this is the third incarnation of Street Fighter III and one of the last true Street Fighter games released (notwithstanding the Capcom vs. SNK series).

 IGN: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Review
What's more, if gamers had played through the story mode with fighters of differing backgrounds, they'd be treated to whichever ending was associated with that incarnation of the character.
Since the series remains as one of the most played videogame franchises in the industry's history; it has millions of gamers the world over that are more than familiar with its combat system and who looks the coolest when doing their special moves.
That said, Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition should be a Capcom-lovers dream, as each and every one of the characters available in the lineup play exactly as they did in their various incarnations from previous years.
