Air Force forced to write off brand new $115million gunship after pilot accidentally flew it UPSIDE DOWN during a test mission
Pilots were testing on brand new AC-130J gunship when they lost control
During 'sideslip' maneuver the aircraft fell 5,000ft before turning over
Pilot managed to get plane back under control with no injuries to the crew
However, the aircraft had to be destroyed after violating 'stress limits'
