In a game in which I am currently participating, I have encountered an enemy interceptor landed at an airfield. It is in aircraft rather than convoy form, but is not airborne.
It is too far from my airstrips for me to launch an airstrike, and all artillery units are elsewhere. All I have nearby is 1 militia and 1 anti-air. Both units' stats have a blank for offensive attacks on aircraft.
Were I to attack them, what would reasonably happen? Would I be able to defeat the plane itself, or would I have to capture the airfield to make it turn into a convoy and then attack?

Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

A pretty mechanical toy [...] the war will never be won by such machines.
