The incident Felix refers to is very old. See, in the early days(by days I mean the first 30 years) the Thunderbolt II had very spartan equipment. Virtually no extra equipment, no cameras, alternative imagers, GPS, ID pods, laser targeting pods or anything. They just had a 30mm chaingun(the plane was built for the gun, not the other way around), sidewinders and rocket pods/cluster bombs. After this and some more friendly fire incidents involving the Thunderbolts II, they were refitted with alot of new gizmos, and they are still receiving new things.
