Of course! But you must admit that the odds of being on own plane, ready to taxi on the runway, at the exact moment of enemy attack are very few!


P.S.: btw, I sent you at daidalos.team@googlemail.com a table of data that I hope useful about japanese engines, with its source. Could you confirm to have received them? Thanks.


The odds of making contact period, were very low (the vast majority of sorties in real life did not involve in air combat), so yeah, those would be lower still.
