Maybe it should be enabled for *all* vehicles, including boats.
If someone is on the ground and ".ef" near a landed friendly plane/gv/boat, they don't suffer any penalties and land their streaks, but it would be announced that they didn't land in a plane, but a chute.
IE: "XxPwNzErxX landed 18 kills in a chute of RaNdOm AwSomE Sauce!"
Or maybe: "TROLOLOLOL was rescued with 18 kills"
Could certainly add a level of continuity and persistance to the experience in the game.
Mind you, the storch would be most effective to do this in, due to the STOL capabilities of the airplane, I doubt landing a Dora or a 51 on most clunky terrain would be easy, let alone a 262.
