I´ve had the same problem with harriers before. (They also used to fall of the sky until I gave them a tremendous speed.) By playing with the doctrines and scripts I had some success, but eventually used the following:
Make 1 (or 2 in case one gets shot down) aircraft TRANSIT over the target, and at a suitable distance use scripts "add effect /explosion" and "add effect/fire" on your target, and finally "remove platform" on your target. This enables you to continue with the story in all cases.
(The airports can sustain a lot of damage, so sometimes it is useful to use this script to "complete" the damage made by players, for instance.)
