GDI aircraft Options

[Lightstorm]

okay so digging around i found this little toy that looks perfect for GDI:

yes no? if so what would it do?
EDIT: apparently the don't like hotlinking, just try copying the image URL in the browser bar

now while were on the topic of aircraft there is more we need to discus:
1. Orcas: here is what I'm thinking in terms of our orcas. on this classes indicate the tech level required for their construction we would have a building with upgrades that allow us to have additional orcas: the catch is you can only have one building and you can only put four upgrades on it. as a basic you get the fighter and bomber, here are the additional orcas arranged by the tech level required to get their upgrades:
level 1
-orca Scout- very lightly armored and armed but capable of flying at speeds similar to that of a hunter seeker. it also carries one very large bomb that is detonated when it crashes armed with a machine gun. its also capable of acting as a spotter for artillery, enabling much longer distance fire.
-orca Sprinter- fast attack fighter, same built as the scout but carries a payload of sonic missiles that are harmless to buildings but will rip tanks to shreds, it carries 6 missiles
level 2
-Orca Light bomber- fast, nimble and well armored but its bombs are fairly weak against vehicles, it will damage buildings decently. carries 4 bombs
-orca light transport- infantry hauler, can carry up to 10 guys or a tank meduim speed medium armor
level 3
-Orca Heavy Bomber- fires powerful bombs that wreck anything in the way, but slow and lightly armored
-orca Heavy transport- a double carryall, carrying up to 10 guys or 2 tanks but weaker armor and slower
level 4
Orca Defender- AA orca, capable of bringing down enemy craft and even stopping hunter seekers same build as the basic orca fighter
Orca striker- carries one freaking huge bomb that will destroy ANYTHING that its dropped on, medium armor but slow

next we have dropships: i was thinking we have a dropship bay where we can call in dropships. we'd have two types:
light dropship: less armor less payload but cheaper and faster
heavy dropship: heavy armor more payload but slower
