Uhhm...that's not that hard...
I have created a code that summons a crusader by plane (get parachuted) when you build it from the WarFactory.
The way it works (I'll be brief), is that you actually build an invisible object. That object destroys itself after a certain time (time it takes to summon the crusaderdrop). The object summons the cursaderdrop, basically the way the supply dropzone does (with a timedelay).
As such, this code is basically EXACTLY what you need. You'll just have to modify the C4 charges of Burton with the code presented to get a new code that'll do what you want... Well, you actually only need to fill in the proper names, but that's it (and you'll just have Burton attach the C4 "beacon" perhaps?).

Basically, all you need to do, is to match every given code above, with the proper names you want to use. Also, the thing calling for the CarpetBomb is the
OCLUpdate and the delay ensures that it takes a while to call in the carpetbomb (even though it also takes time for the plane to come in, it might be best to work with a delay to ensure that it'll take a while...make sure that the "bomb"/beacon dies right after calling in the carpetbomb, otherwise it'll keep repeating the call for a carpetbomb until it dies, which will result in multiple carpet bombs).
That might work for the thing you want...however, the bomb/beacon will just dissappear after the stated time...
