If you are serious about this function, then cover the whole game with a wish for a pilot rescue function. Everyone has the ability to bail out over land or water. Why make the land bailers have to accept a capture or ditch when a storch, jeep, or some new spotting plane type could pick them up? Still you have another question to ask.

That is the cost to benefit you are asking Hitech to weigh for engaging in the programing time to accomplish this.
