+1 on the squadron mascot

Lots of squadrons had them and it would make a great minigame to have a pet dog or pig that you have to avoid running over and feed periodically.

On a more serious note having persistent weathering or damage on a plane would add quite a bit. I'd love to get machinegun impacts all over my plane and have the textures in subsequent missions show "patches" over the spots where the bullets had hit. However, this may not be worth the programming effort. It might be good for bomber campaigns though (where crews served on the same aircraft for most or all of a tour).
