I like this idea.  Make it every two weeks to keep it even fresher.

Especially if you can tie certain days with historical events. Yes we have the SEA arena but its hardly used. Promote p40s and zekes for pearl harbor or EW spits and 109s during certain memorable days in the bob

This may be a good idea.
Plus, it is super easy to implement - HTC just need to announce it on the MOTD and boost the ENY of the selected plane way up. No coding at all and if the results are not satisfying, just stop doing it.

Also, I would do this for plane pairs of "historical matchups".

Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

Been doing something similar -- picking a "plane-for-the-tour".  It does add interest to the game.

Historic matchups another good idea.  Midway F4Fs vs A6M2s, etc.

I usually coordinate my flying with whatever we are going to be flying in FSO that month as it gives me a bit of training in a ride that I might not normally fly.  It does add a bit of challenge to the game to try out odd rides and see if you can master them in the MA.  I do a lot of bombing, so I KNOW I can get to a target and destroy it in Tu-2s or B-26s or B-17s -- sometimes it is fun to try it Ju-88s or Ki-67s just to mix it up a bit.   It is also funny how many people will see you in something like that and figure you are just easy meat -- and find out differently the hard way.
