Yeah, sort of. In the early 80s, the USSR shot down a Korean Air passenger jet because they thought it was a spy plane.
I don't see how anyone could mistake a passenger jet for a fighter plane, but I do recall reading recently about A Ukrainian cargo jet being shot down, and I could sort of fathom a large passenger jet being mistaken for a cargo plane, but I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud.
