There are several posts about rescuing downed airmen in C47s and bombers. But I've read recently about real pilots being rescued in P51s, Ju87s, even 109s with the radio equipment removed.
So I thought it would add a really cool element to the game if, after being shot down in enemy territory, you could broadcast your position and ask for a rescue. Then anyone who cares to could land near you and pick you up. That way your streak, which has yet to be implimented, could continue.
In a heavy fighting area you could also cruise around looking for rescuers to vultch.
I think that almost anyone would risk themselves (reasonably) to rescue a downed countryman. It would be fun landing and taking off from fields and inclines.
I think it would also serve to bring the community closer together as you would be dependent on others for survival and giving the favor would be to take a risk.
