Don't care for the 262 idea much, but you did give me another thought.
Each tour we designate one plane for the streak plane.
We then keep track of who has the longest kill streak in that plane. I.E. once you die flying the "Streak Plane" your streak is finished, and you do not get to try again that tour.
And I am thinking a ditch (not capture) is not a death. A disco will also count as a death.
