: Yes, before they take off, use the ctrl option.  Do this by selecting
: the chopper, holding down ctrl and hitting 1-9.  You can do this for 
: multiple units too.  Then, when you want to select them again, just hit
: 0-9 again.  This can be done in midair...

I think you've missed the point here, he's actually talking about targeting
an enemy's chopper, not his own, so that his orca's can attack it, so he's
saying tell them to attack it when its on the ground and even if it takes
off you can still hit it
