Does anyone know if we've learned anything about the CAS effectiveness
of Apaches, F-16s, A-10s and Harriers from the Gulf War?  It would be
interesting to know something like kills per CAS sortie for each aircraft
type.  

Early in the air war one analyst claimed that the A-10 had thus far
been the only aircraft effective for locating and destroying mobile
scud launchers but then he seemed to be pretty biased against the more
expensive weapons systems.
