At my desk

I'm obsessed with Ork fliers. Here's a list of mine:

- Air Wing Detachment -
Flyer: Blitza-Bommer 134pts
Flyer: Burna-Bommer (Skorcha Missiles) 152pts
Flyer: Dakkajet (6x Supa Shoota) 148pts
Flyer: Dakkajet (6x Supa Shoota) 148pts
Flyer: Wazbom Blastajet (2x Wazbom Mega-Kannons, Kustom Force Field) 159pts
- 741pts (+1CP) -

- Vanguard Detachment -
HQ: Warboss (Kombi-Skorcha, Power Klaw) 87pts
Elites: Kommandos (Big Choppa Nob, 7x Sluggas, 2x Burnas) 97pts
Elites: Kommandos (Big Choppa Nob, 7x Sluggas, 2x Burnas) 97pts
Elites: Kommandos (Big Choppa Nob, 7x Sluggas, 2x Burnas) 97pts
Elites: Nobz (Power Klaw Boss Nob, 3x Power Klaw Nob, 2x Kombi-Skorcha Nob) 192pts
Fast Attack: Deff Kopta (Twin Big Shoota) 65pts
Transport: Warkopta (2x Rattler Kannon, Big Shoota) 112pts
- 747pts (+1CP) -

Basically I imagine this army to be the vanguard of a greater Ork Waagh! with the aircraft speeding ahead and the Kommandos serving as what Orks would interpret as paratroopers.
The Warkopta will carry the Warboss and Nobz right into the enemy, being what I'd call a serviceable melee deathstar given the conditions of this list. They take out any enemy big boys (TEQs, HQ units, etc.)
The Kommandos, guns on the Warkopta, and the Deff Kopta will serve as my general anti-infantry, with the Dakkajets and Burna-Bommer lending a hand as they can.
The Dakkajets and Burna-Bommer are also great for light-medium vehicles and monsters in my experience, but the Blitza-Bommer and Wazbom Blastajet are more dedicated anti-tank and monster.

So this is a very fluffy list, and I'm decently happy with it as it stands, but I'd like to see what you guys think if I could optimise it at all (And yes, I know that throwing in 60+ Boyz is the best way to optimise it, but there are other options I may not have considered and I'm frankly done painting infantry hordes and would like to try something non-standard for Orks).

Thanks for the read. So, thoughts?

3000pts Blood Angels (4th Company) - 2000pts Skitarii (Voss Prime) - 2500pts Imperial Knights (Unnamed House) - 1000pts Imperial Guard (Household Retainers)

2000pts Free Peoples (Edlynd Fusiliers) - 2000pts Kharadron Overlords (Barak Zilfin) - 500pts Ironweld Arsenal (Edlynd Ironwork Federation) - 1000pts Duardin (Grongrok Powderheads)

Wargaming's no fun when you have a plan!

That looks like a fun fluffy list.
The only thing I would be worried about is Boots on the Ground.
