For an extremely tangental anime reference to this kind of thing, the
series Gundam Wing feature extensive use of C5-sized aircraft for
ferrying
about and ocasionally combat-dropping various mobile suits (big honkin'
giant robots, for those not familiar with the Gundam world(s)). In fact,
in
one ep a MS fires from a Starlifter in close air support of a ground
battle. Possible DSII scenario rule?
