Air units are not moved around the map like other units. Instead, they are stationed in a city, and assigned missions which they execute immediately against targets within their operational range. When an air unit is active, choose the mission you want it to perform (command button or hot key) and choose a target within the plane's range. Air Superiority (S) The plane attempts to intercept enemy aircraft that attack targets within the inner half of its operational range. Bombing Mission (B) The plane flies to the target and attacks, sometimes affecting city improvements, and sometimes population. Precision Strike (P) Performed by stealth aircraft, precision strikes destroy city improvements only, unless there are none in which case population is affected. Recon Mission (R) The plane flies to the target and reveals the map. Re-Base Mission (Ctrl-R) The unit can be moved to another city or a carrier a distance equal to up to Six times the plane's operational range.
