Capt Robert R. Swain shot down a Bo105 helicopter on 06/02/91
Capt Todd E. Sheehy shot down a Mi-8 Hip helicopter on 15/02/91

Both A-10A air-to-air kills from Desert Storm were with GAU-8/A 30mm gun

Bobby Swain......He was one of ours in the 75th while I was there. Nice guy, just seemed really shy or introverted.

Saw him on one of the Discovery shows after GW1. Think he was with a Guard unit then?
Who was he with when he got the kill?

Saw the link from Dice-Man. Great fun for me, a picture of a Dutch Bolkow Bo-105 <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> as example. We don't use the Bolkows anymore.

Further always a great story to read about the air 2 air kills
