How does one of the most sophisticated combat planes in the world get taken out by a Cessna 150?
Doesn't take much to bring down *ANY* aircraft.
"Combat" capabilities have nothing to do with it..:S
Bird strikes put an Airbus A320 (safely) down into the Hudson River.
Unfortunately, small aircraft have "taken out" large sophisticated commercial aircraft with much more disastrous results.
Collisions:
PSA Boeing 727 and a Cessna 172 over a San Diego neighborhood - 1978.
137 killed in the aircraft & 7 on the ground.
PSA on approach to Lindberg Field.
Many PSA employees on board "deadheading" to SD.
Aeromexico DC-9 and a Piper Archer over a Cerritos neighborhood - 1986.
67 killed in the aircraft & 15 on the ground.
Aeromexico on approach to LAX.
When it's your time........a passenger booked on the PSA flight had survived the Tenerife 747s disaster the year before.
Changed his plans before the PSA flight.

On edit: Charleston - according to "Air Force Times", the USAF aircraft was an F-16C. The pilot survived in good condition.
