I have Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade playing right now and just saw the scene where Henry Jones (Indy’s dad) shoots down their own plane by hitting it’s tail with the tail gun. In the process of googling whether that happened (I seem to remember a sync or other device being in planes to keep the gun from firing into the tail), I found this article showing how a F-11 Tiger test pilot managed to shoot down his own plane… by catching up to his bullets.
Holy crap.
