regarding armed insurgencies like the Abu Sayyaf, ginagamit ba yung F-5s na yan dun? parang hindi yata. and besides, sa tingin ko may mga "ibang dahilan" kung bakit hindi masugpu-sugpo yang mga NPA at abu sayyaf na yan even after the "full might" of the AFP is deployed against them. hehe (but that's a topic for another day).

so the decision to mothball the planes makes good sense, imo.
speaking of pinoy pilots, d'ba mayroon tayo isang hero noon WW2, si Villamor ba yun, nakipag-dogfight sa 50 Japanese Bombers, with him on a Tora tora. natalo daw niya. this guys can even fly under bridges.

is this real story ba or myth?
