Curiously... are those helicopters certified for the crappy quality of fuel we have here?

Ba't hindi daw color yellow? :D

Do we also have issues with AV fuel?

That's one small, yet notable step for refleeting our air force.

This is nice. Kailangan natin mga ganitong transporter type helicopters. Maalagaan sana ng maayos para tumagal at huwag lang gamiting pang-transport ng mga politiko.

Philippines seeks 12 F-16 fighter jets from US

MANILA, Philippines—An official says the Philippines will seek a squadron of F-16 fighter jets and a third coast guard ship from longtime ally Washington amid simmering territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said Wednesday that he and the defense chief will meet their US counterparts in Washington next year to discuss the requests. Del Rosario said the requests for 12 F-16 fighter jets and a third coast guard cutter have already been relayed to American officials and their initial response was encouraging.

Washington has provided a coast guard cutter and agreed to send another one to the Philippines, which is locked in territorial disputes with China and four other governments.

With the US budget cuts, sana mabigyan tayo ng F16s, cutters and maybe even A10s. Bradley IFV kaya?

Yeah, naalala ko yung nag crash dati sa Codilleras, after waiting for and dropping Mikey Arroyo off in Baguio. Pilot error yata yun (due to fatigue?).

We really need workhorse transports and not just war supports. The C130 is another plane due for replacement and reinforcement.
