On August 20, 2010 a MOD was published, in which the pilot could get off the plane, walk and go back to the plane.
This routine could be implemented taking advantage several alternatives.
1. The pilot manages to reach the airport or aircraft carrier, his plane is so damaged that can not be repaired quickly. The pilot off the plane, walk or run to another aircraft available and flies again. This instead of using the Refly option.
2. A pilot managed to land his plane in a remote area from an airport. He asked to be rescued. The civil aircraft controlled by another pilot, will fly to his or her location to be rescued. The civil airplane lands in that remote area and recue the pilot. They fly to the nearest airport. The rescued pilot gets off the civil plane, walk up a warplane available and fly again.
Imagine the possibilities.
