I remember an F-15C credited with a kill over an Iraqi Pilatus PC-9 *prop
trainer*! No missiles nor gun... the Eagle showed up and the intrepid iraqi
took to the chute.

Seems to me it would take as great or greater skill for an unarmed
pilot to fly his enemy into the ground than to shoot him down. I
believe I read that someone in a Piper or Stinson liaison plane
"killed" a Luftwaffe fighter that way during WW II.

OTOH, I don't suppose that Pilatus kill called for much skill on the
F-15's part.
