This would be great for carrier ops as well. I've seen squad mates killed after executing a nice landing, taxiing forward and to the side of the flight deck, fold wings, place chocks, only to have another plane crash and be killed in the explosion. Or, and this has happened to me twice, land on the carrier with a damaged bird, lose your landing gear and slide to a stop on the deck, only to be dumped overboard because of the pitching deck and be forced to bail out. An option to simply leave your plane without the bail out penalty would be excellent and should allow the deck or runway to be rid of your aircraft.
