Hey guys, how many hinds did the A-10s shoot down during ODS? Was it two?

Both gun kills?

Any other kills?

LOL, thanx.

Looks like the only Hind to be killed A2A was by a F15C on 7 Feb 91

and a handful of variable helo airframes by another F14 and 15's

LOL. Took him about 3 passes to get a hit, and he wouldn't let his wingman, who was ready for the shot, to roll in after he kept missing. Somewhat an arrogant type when you meet him.
