Don't believe everything you read

[AGRICOLA]

For more years than I care to admit, I've taken the following as more or less the gospel truth:

From p. 226 of my well-thumbed Civ2 MGE manual
AIRLIFT
Use this order to move a unit that has not yet moved this turn from any of your cities served by an Airport to any other (friendly) city with an Airport. This travel uses all of the unit’s movement points for that turn. Only one unit may be airlifted from or into each city per turn.

Aside from airlifting units that have moved along RR's and, consequently, retain their full movement, I've never tried airlifting a unit which has used up part of its movement. Accidentally, I did it in a scen and, miraculously, it worked! Doublechecked that it also works in vanilla Civ2.

I'm guessing that instead of "not yet moved" they meant to say "not yet flown". Also, that your "well-thumbed" was written with tongue-in-cheek ?

Close. Had forked tongue in both cheeks.

Well, I suppose that's good to know...
But would be more useful to land with all of your move left- wait, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Oops.
