Well "combat" is obviously an exaggeration, but just think if he can do it four more times he'll be an Ace.
Dutch F-16 makes emergency landing after plane shoots itself
A Dutch F-16 fighter jet flying a training exercise over the Netherlands scored a direct hit — on itself — when the pilot fired the aircraft’s 20mm rotary cannon. The Royal Netherlands Air Force pilot was able to make an emergency landing at Leeuwarden Air Base after the plane suffered “considerable damage,” according to a report from Dutch state media. At least one round ripped through the jet’s exterior, the report said, while munition fragments were also found in the aircraft’s engine.
