     I have gotten out of planes on the ground lots of times and never so much as stubbed a toe.  So isn't your Insta-Tower just as gamey
as you claim the bad  guys are?

I suggested 500ft because there is no logical reason to bail from a plane below that altitude unless you plan to run around shooting paratroopers.

So you're saying if a pilot gets out of his plane while it's stopped on the ground he should instantly die?  Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's what happens to real world pilots.

I'm not saying the pilot should die, im saying your sortie should be over and you are back in the tower.  Correct me if im wrong, but pilots in real life dont jump out of perfectly good airplanes unless they are ready to finish their sortie.

Yes but that doesn't mean some psycho might then decide to go run around with a gun and shoot people does it?
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Pilots in real life always land with the wheels down unless they are damaged.

That is not correct. You just want a different fix than dropping the hanger. You don't seem to care about unintended consequences for pilots who don't run around with .45's but might have good reasons to bail out below 500 ft.

If this trend continues (and I don't see many reasons for it not to do so) Aces High will become a kind of Aces Low in the near future (I don't mean that deprecatory in any way)

It will still be Aces High...  targets below.   :D
