Here is a list in fact!

Also with that Patriot battery incident, there was an issue with the friend-or-foe ID system so it wasnt identified as a friendly plane.
If you look at the American incidents though there are a higher proportion of American patrols spontaneously attacking allied targets - other Blue on Blue incidents either tend to happen at ground level or it's a case of close air support gone wrong. On the one hand there's missing your intended target, on the other there's mistakenly identifying friendly forces as valid targets.
