I dont see a way in the editor to make a unit an airborne unit. How are the units assigned as airborne determined by the program? How do I make an airborne unit?

There is a "hidden" attribute (sym) of the unit in the Location record that indicates an "airborne" unit and shows the airborne icon.

I think this is what allows an unit to be dropped .. as long as the "devices" have a small load cost (<7 (37mm AT gun) I think).

IIRC there was some mention that this attribute might be made visible sometime. Otherwise, you could change it using the utility "WITPload" availble at Spooky's site.
