On September 21, 1956, during the test flight of the new F-11 "Tiger" navy fighter, an unparalleled incident in the history of military aviation occurred in the sky - the plane shot itself down with its own guns. As it turned out, there was no magic or mystery there, the cause was simple - basic laws of physics.
