At high speed, the plane might bounce off the ground and might then be glided "out of the enemy airbase to evade capture" by e.g. FAA or TSA ;o), simulating this would require a gradual kind of e.g. structural damage modeling. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
