I always liked the story about the first test of the M-61 cannon mounted in the F104 Starfighter.

The test pilot flying the one and only prototype got up to height, checked everything and pulled the trigger. The cannon exploded throwing the breach of the gun through the engine.

Rather than ejecting and loosing the prototype he glided back to base and performed a dead stick landing!

Did that test pilot have balls or what?
