Agreed. I'd always envisioned surviving air bases / airports still having small numbers of potentially operational aircraft but lacking the means / resources to get them airborne. Potentially it might even be possible to find a helicopter hidden away somewhere (in a barn for example) but without fuel it's as much use as a chocolate teapot (although finding said fuel can make a campaign in its own right)
