If you can jump into and take control of another AI aircraft - It will be a big hit with newcomers who don't have to exit a game just because they get killed.

This was supposed to be a feature in Jane's WWII fighters according to the manual, but I never got it to work.
I think it's a very good idea.
If you get shot down trying to help a wingman then you can take his place and try to get out of 'his' trouble. On the negative side it might encourage self-sacrifice for the above reason. You will never 'die'.
I'm sure it will be user controlled, it's bound to be.
