in the original release I had it happen frequently in original allied missions. at the end of achieving the mission objectives you return to your home base to land, and once you landed whatever number of AI wingmen were still escorting you would then crash into the surrounding hills/fields one by one. they would crash into nearby hills either immediately after your landing, or after they circled your landing location they would crash into nearby fields or hills. none of them ever succeeded in landing correctly on the runway i used.
note: this is without given them any commands when to land

i dont think there are waypoints involved with that, but i have no idea how those work

with the latest patches this doesnt seem to be a problem anymore
