is there a way to determine where planes will spawn on an airfield?

If you are planning on having AI in an online mission take off or land at an airfield that could be used by players, you will run into big problems. Actually you could run into big problems without players lol. I tried this well over a year ago. Anything that gets in the way of their path while on the airfield can and will ruin the entire flight. This can happen on take off or landing. The final warping as you call it, is the AI's final resting point.

If something gets in the way of that final point, or even before, you can and most likely will have AI planes that look like that are dancing on the airfield. At this point they can not be destroyed, damaged, or despawned. They will bounce like that until the next mission. It's best to spawn them in the air and destroy them in the air as well.
