Here is a path that makes the 'damage' info of the aircraft visible in the aircraft_info menu.
What do you think if I add a small box in geoscape with info of all airborne aircraft (very similar to what currently exists for UFOs and missions) ?
In this box, there will be infos on the aircraft, like fuel, speed, damage, weapons, pilot etc..

The patch is okay, the only thing I'm not sure about is the wording.. I'm not a native English speaker, so I can be wrong but "Damage: 120/120" means "it's a total scrap" for me, it should either be "Damage: 0/120" or "Damage: 0%" or "Hit points: 120/120" or "Health: 120/120" or so IMHO. What do you think?

about small boxes: possible but very small; the docklet is already taking too much of the screen already.

btw. we should show damage/health value on the sidebar too.

may be it is better to have a bar instead of numbers?
And «Health» is much better.

You are correct. I should simply change this to 'Health'.
Maybe also add a health bar on the aircraft screen, below the model.
Geever, what do you mean by 'sidebar' ? Is it on geoscape ?

I've done it with a bar, also added aircraft health to the sidebar
