The Fighter Jet that Shot Itself Down

The Fighter Jet that Shot Itself Down

Dogfighting and militarized aviation have been around since the beginning of human flight, and over that time there have been many aviation accidents. While military planes of past were more accident-prone than the technological and mechanical powerhouses that are modern fighter jets, accidents do still happen. Accidents like fighter jets shooting themselves down. The most recent example of this occurring was from 2019 when a Royal Netherlands F016 was shot by bullets from its own gun. But the most significant incidence of a plane shooting itself was back in 1956.
