Oh no, I'm an
Officer ! I shall send the tender with an enlisted man to do that job
On the other hand you could have an option that if you land by the downed plane ( on your side of the lines of course ), the ki..sorry, Victory is immediately confirmed whereas otherwise it takes a day or two to show up on the chalkboard.
Little things like that can add to the immersion, not to mention if you crack up attempting such a thing you may end up having to fly the squadron's oldest plane without your skin etc.
