This is an issue with AI in general and have witnessed this behaviour more times than I care to remember:

You're on a mission and have been through the gauntlet; you and your (AI) squad egress back to base. Half the stupid buggers fly right into a mountain side before getting back to base with no external influence (pea-soup fog, unfriendly fire, etc.), all the while saying "I'm taking hits!"--- boom

Is such wacky behaviour to be addressed in some fashion?

I think that it's just that Oleg has not tested his maps 100% on all the landing routines and approach vectors for AI.
In Crimea or was it Kuban map there is one airfield near the coast where there's a high mountain near the airfield. If AI pilots come from the north they all crash to mountain but if they come from the south they have no problems on landing.
But if it can be corrected with this mod that would be cool.

This question came to my mind:
If your are flying the lead and you land, sometimes the wingman just stays in the air and does boom and zoom on you and sometimes he finaly crashes on you.
Even if you try to command him to "break" and to "return back to base" he's will still just stay flying around above you.
That sometimes scares the S#it out of me and my mates having a peaceful chat on the grass.
