I recently received this amazing video of an F/A-18 Hornet accidentally "shooting down" an A4 Skyhawk. However, I've received two conflicting explanations of what's happening he One version of the story says that it was an F/A-18 missile test being filmed by the A4. The missile didn't fire after release, tumbled into the A4, and tore off its wing. The other version says that it was a refueling accident. Apparently the A4s were used as "mini-refuelers" and it looks as if what comes off the Hornet is actually attached to the A4. Perhaps the drogue snagged something and tore off the missile, which then hit the A4s wing, tearing it off? Anyone know conclusively? I'd like to get the caption right.
