| A Philippine Air Force (PAF)
C-130H “Hercules” (tail number 4704) cargo plane has arrived in Manila last October 17 after being
sent to the United States for “Periodic Depot Maintenance”
last August 8 at a British Aerospace facility in Mojave, California. A
budget of P190 million, funded through Foreign Millitary Sales, was
allocated for the repair. The C-130 left California October 14 and made stopovers at Hawaii, Wake Islands, and Guam in the Pacific before its arrival in the country. The crew consisted of Colonel Jose Mirandilla Jr., Deputy Wing Commander of the220th Airlift Wing, Lieutenant Colonel Ramil Oloroso as test pilot, Major Michael Edrik Encarnacion as pilot-in-command, Captains Ian Dexter Danes and Merrito Quijano as co-pilots |
Wish that the PAF could revive more of its C130 planes (I heard that they initially received 14!)
