Title: Enhancement: Vehicle Supplies and airplanes

Howdy,

Please consider modifying Vehicle Supplies to work on airplanes as well, with the requirement that the plane actually be on the ground, of course.

This could create the possibility of setting up temporary forward airfields for refuelling and re-arming.

Not a new idea, but always has been a good one.

you have to drive hours before reaching a point far away from an airport.
the planes will have to go to your established base and not at a normal airfield afcourse

Hi Frank,

C-47s can drop vehicle supplies.  A C-47 would fly to the enemy island and find a place that was clear of obstructions and drop vehicle supplies in a line, then land.  He'd send out the call "I've set up a forward base w/ vehicle supplies.  Set me as your wingman to find it".  

Anyone nearby who needed fuel, weapons, or repair would type ".wingman chairboy" (or whoever) and see their dot on the map.  They'd fly over, get a vis on the goon, then land near some supplies.  They'd resupply like the GVs can now, then taxi as appropriate and take off again.
