I say let planes scramble from any airbases anywhere anytime, even land lock airbases. The defending player still has to make the same choices of where to use his planes to benefit him the most. Capping it at 6 would be easy to accept and figure out. Just so long as you make it 1 plane for 1 point of damage on the airbase, so like 5 damage points on an airbase limits it to 1 airplane that can scramble. You could make exceptions for airbases on capital cities or even for VCs in general, like unlimited scrambling.

The rules say:
“Defending fighters and tactical bombers (strategic
bombers cannot scramble) located on islands that have
operative airbases can be scrambled to defend against attacks
in the sea zones surrounding those islands.”Does this include your allies fighters that are parked in your territory or only your own fighters?

Allied planes are included, but obviously count towards the 3 plane total (assuming alpha 3). This is in keeping with the joint defense rules.
