In September 1956, Grumman company test pilot Tom Atteridge became the first man in history to shoot down his own fighter plane. After firing two short bursts from the plane's 20mm cannons, Atteridge took the F11F Tiger into a steep dive. His flight path intercepted the decaying trajectory of the rounds he'd fired, disabling the aircraft and forcing Atteridge into a crash landing, which he survived.
