No. It was a missile from another plane that hit his.

No, McCain’s A-4 was the one hit by a Zuni. There were a number of factors that led to the severity of that fire, including superannuated 1000 pound bombs (some of pre-WWII vintage!) and most of the crew not having a good grounding in fire fighting when the first line fire fighters were taken out by the secondary explosions.
