One item I would really like to see is a graceful exit from the cockpit for pilot and crew. I can say from experience, the one thing that always feels good after those grueling hours in a hot, noisy, cockpit is the exit back onto mother earth, along with the fresh air and quiet. There is something deep within that needs to depart the cockpit after a mission. Call it "closure" or whatever, but I find myself still wanting get out of the aircraft after a flight, unfortunately the only way is to achieve that is to make that silly escape that involves jettisoning the canopy running away at breakneck speed and diving for the ground. I would prefer to calmly climb down from the cockpit, and although I no longer smoke, maybe lighting one up would be the perfect conclusion to a successful mission. You know, like they always did in the movies.
