PS4 version-Can paratroopers start a scenario already inside a plane?

I don't know if it can even be done on the computer but if it can how do you deploy your paratrooper so that it starts in a plane on the PS4? This seems important if there is any chance to use them in the Blitzkrieg:Belgium scenario to take out Fort Eben-Emael as happened historically. You have to do it in two turns and if you can't start loaded in the plane there is no chance to complete an airdrop on the fort in that time.

So can you start airborne with your paratroops on the PS4 (in the deployment phase I mean)? can it be done on the computer?

Nevermind. I found that you indeed can.

Actually a question on that:
How do you get German airborne infantry (not paras, the regular infantry) in the air?

Move them adjacent to an airfield and you should see the aircraft takeoff symbol.

Thanks, but isn't that just for paratroopers? In Race for Tunis, there are both paratroopers and airborne infantry (that can only be landed; cannot jump).
That airborne infantry looks just like normal infantry and cannot get on airplanes, it seems. How to get them in the air, I'm wondering. Because they spawn in airplanes
