Firstly because it houses the earphones and they still needed comms for an effective attack, even if they are not coming back.
I think it would also distract from the mission if suddenly you are flying with only half the kit you are used to. I think they even had parachutes, as most WWII fighters used the parachute as a cushion on a bare metal seat and you would thus not be able to see over the glare shield if you are sitting low in the "empty" seat.

How much of the liquid in a given water park, pool, pond, or ocean is actually biotic wastes/secretions?
Ummmm....don't sweat it? Here's my naive, if not stupid, question from my early lifeguard days when someone spotted a turd in the deep end: "Who's going to get it out?"

hmmm...
If by that you mean, water that has passed through a biological creature, or at one time was incorporated within a biological creature--at some time, any time in the past--then I would say...
100% of it.

Sure, but what's your question?

How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

Depth of spongeless ocean = Depth of ocean - (average height of sponge stratum + average height of water column within sponge stratum)

Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own. Read » | 0 comments
