I'm new at this game and am looking at a way to get the my orcas to
attack NOD helios.  That is attack them while they are in flight.
I've read it's possible but have looked all through the manuals for
clues but found nothing.  Is it possible?

Well, 


first, select the group on their pads.   "Lasso" them with the mouse.


Hit  <Control>+1      ( for instance ) to create Group # 1.

(  1 through 9 work this way )

Once grouped,  select your target.   They'll fly off to hit it.

If you see a SAM threat or other target of opportunity,   just
hit the "1"  key and they'll answer.   Then, re-target them or
call them back.

The only way I've found that you can do that is to target them while
they are on the ground.  If they take off, you're orcas or choppers
will still shoot them in the air.  If you find a better way, let me
know!!!!!!!!!!!

You must target them before they leave the ground first....then, after 
the opposing orcas in the air, your orcas will follow them around and 
fire on them.
