In CivIII helicoptors can carry a single unit of infantry from their 
airbase to a dropoff point.  They may also be able to ferry units back. 
 But then, air units are *entirely* different in civ 3.
Paratroopers obviously wouldn't be flown on *helicoptors*, though you 
might think they'd need a plane to drop off from.  Perhaps they use 
commercial planes, and just jump out at the right moment? :-)
