what prophecy/secret ops fighters can fly in atmosphere?

You can see fairly clearly that the landing Vampire in the scene I talked about appears to be landing under its own power. If it were being placed there by a "crane" of sorts, it wouldnt "flare" out just before the rear landing gear touches the floor. "Flare" is a procedure where just before ground contact, you raise the nose up just a tad so the rear wheels or landing struts touch the ground first before the nose gear. This helps prevent shoving your nose into the ground! :D

Yes, but isn't it being carried by one of those cranes that puts the fighters in their bays along the Midway's interior? That's kind of funny that they had a Vampire and the Wolf-Packs haven't been transferred yet :)

It's a Panther you see in the cutscenes carried by a crane IIRC.
 
Really, I could of sworn it was a vampire. Oh, and RFB, don't the new confed fighters use basic landing gear, with no wheels?
 
Ive seen a Vampire land in the background. Carriers use a series of tractor beams to catch and land a fighter on the ground. At least on some carriers like the Claw, it uses the ALS.
