Philippine Air Force 2011
« on: January 07, 2011, 05:58:20 PM »
The Philippine Air Force (PAF) starts the year 2011 with the roll-out of additional air assets.

Five refurbished POTUS (President of the United States) Program (UH-1H) utility helicopters will be turned over to the PAF on Monday at the Villamor Air Base Grandstand in Pasay City, said Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Miguel Ernesto Okol.

He said U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas will turn over the aircraft to Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and to AFP chief Gen. Ricardo A. David.

Air Force Chief Lt. Gen. Oscar H. Rabena will then receive the documents and subsequently present it to incumbent 205th Tactical Helicopter Wing Commander, Brig. Gen. Virgilio O. Domingo.

Okol said the blessing of the air assets will immediately follow the turnover before the batch will be declared operationally ready for mission dispatch.

The helicopters arrived in a shipment last Dec. 18 and were accepted by the PAF Technical Inspection and Acceptance Committee (TIAC).

“The newest acquisition were test-flown and declared in operational status following the completion of rigid test flights conducted at 410th Maintenance Wing in Clark Air Base,” said Okol. - pna

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

The Philippines has a rather large GNP, yet we cannot purchase 3rd generation air supremacy fighters? Helicopters will not stop enemy attack air supremacy fighters.
