2. A pilot who is mistakenly firing on friendly troops. Can one shoot down the plane

CM responds:

I think, that of all the cases listed, this is the easiest one to differentiate. He is clearly a rodef, unlike all the other cases. If the question was not about the pilot but about the others in the plane, the argument (though less simple) can still be made that they are part of the crew that make the rodef function.
