Wow! an actual case of "life imitates art". It sounds similar to the plot of the 2005 movie "Stealth":

"In the near future, the Navy develops a fighter jet piloted by an artificial intelligence computer. The jet is placed on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific to learn combat maneuvers from the human pilots aboard. But when the computer develops a mind of its own, it's the humans who are charged with stopping it before it incites a war..."

Stealth is a pretty good movie with a "Top Gun meets Michael Crichton" vibe, but who would have guessed that some similar could be real!?!
