City Major at the newly built airport - Now thats a bloddy fine airport! What is it good for?
Airport manager - Well, its for taking off and landing airplanes, mainly...
Major - Cool! I think I'll stick arround for a recon take-off, always wanted to be on one.
Manager - I'm sorry to dissapoint you. We haven't got any airplanes. We have no access to oil. No oil, no airplanes. Sorry.
Major - Hmm. Well, that IS quite dissapointing... How about a helicopter take-off then?
Manager - Sorry. No helicopters either.
Major (grunting) - What a waste of money... Maybe we should reconsider the airport management...
Manager - Ahem, we could airlift something for you? How about this tank!
Major - You could? How? Thought you didn't have oil?
Manager - We don't. But our special airlift helicopters don't run on oil.
Major - They don't? What do they run on then?
Manager - Ahem, I'm not quite sure. Some wierd abundant supply of illogical fluid substancs I think. You gotta ask the ground people about that.
Major - Hm. Doesn't matter. Couldn't you just use the airlift helicopters for recon missions them?
Manager - No no no no! - can't do that. The airlift helicoptes gotta transport large heavy objects from one city to another, thats what they do! Thats ALL they CAN do!
Major - Hmm. Sounds very limiting... But well, if they don't use any oil like the airplanes, bombers and regular helicopters, I guess the airport isn't totally useless.
Manager - Eh, actually, the airplanes, bombers and helicopters doesn't actually USE oil. We just need oil to BUILD them. Once build, the oil is no longer needed.
Major - What?! We don't need oil to RUN the aircrafts? - just to BUILD them?
Manager - Thats right sir. Once constructed, they run on the same strange substance mentioned ealier.
Major - Well, NOW you got me confuced. But what the heck, I think our ally in the east has an oil well we could borrow for a few turns. Just to build a small fleet. I think I will arrange that right away. Think you could give me an airlift?
Manager - Sure! I'd be glad to. Where would you like to go?
Major - To Petrol City.
Manager - Oh, I'm sorry, no can do. There has already been a airlift destined for Petrol City this year - they can't possible handle another transport already. But why not have a lift for Boringdale? - no one has been transported to Boringdale for years, I'm sure they can handle a transport by now?
Major (sighing) - Ah, never mind. I'll go visit the construction work of the new dam project instead. Its quite amusing. Some guy invented a new material called plastics and produced a lot of small colorful bricks. We are going to build the dam out of them. Wanna come?
Manager - Sounds fun! I'm game. What is this plastic material made of?
Major - Not sure. Oil I think.... Hey, wait a minute!!!
