I've got this one, just gotta get to writing it.
Also Crow, I have no idea about your characters other proficiencies but they could join the gun crews or engineering teams.
But once we get all these craft repaired we'll have a total of 5 (6 Including Alexander, Richard, and Reagan's craft of course) available for flying and the various standard patrols we'll be doing (In fact they've seen more action than the rest of the cast) plus, once we get into uncharted lands they'll be off with expensive equipment to catalogue various landmarks ahead of the fleet in order facilitate "exploration" and "the pursuit of knowledge" as well as "the complete destruction of the birdmen's entire organization down to it's last and final supporter." Which should be fun.
Also with the rate we're bleeding extra parts for these planes we should probably pick up a lot of extras.
