Corncob 3D?
No carriers there, but plane in (looping) opening sequence is a blue corsair.
And the airstrip with control tower always is your start/end point.

Both could be played from floppy.

Neither of those, unfortunately. The reason I'm so fascinated with this game is that I don't remember there being any identifying splash screens or menus at all, nor any in game directions (like in Corncob 3D, where you are given a mission objective and location).
