At the peak of the US and USSR arsenals, would airpots and power plants outside of main target areas be targeted? I live in Nebraska, and I know Lincoln's small airport (like 8 gates) has a runway that is long enough to land a Boeing E-4 on, even though there's no commercial purpose for such a long runway in Lincoln, NE. This made me wonder, although Lincoln would be a counter-value target, how would airports in random 30,000ish cities do in a full counter-value exchange?
