I would see it if implemented, as it would have been for real.. If your pilot is injured, then you wouldn't go up again.. If your aircraft has been damaged then you wouldn't be able to get back into it, the mission would end there.. If you have managed to return unscathed and uninjured, then just like for real in the battle over Malta's skies, your aircraft would be re-armed and re-fueled and you would have the option to take off again to vector into the incoming enemy bomber stream..
Now this is a great addition to people like me who play alot of online wars or co-ops..
Not every mission that you fly would lend itself to this kind of option, but in certain operations it would be perfectly feasible, just as it was for real.
