==Air Units==
==Air Units==
Air units have the advantage of being able to cross any terran that is passible by all other units. This mobility makes them key in any battle. Air units can be repaired /resupply at airports and temporary airports and can also be resupplied by mobile workshops. With the exception of ship planes, all are built from the airport.
