Mactan, Cebu, Philippines

Apologies for the image quality owing to poor lighting conditions at dusk.

Note the stash of C-130's quite nicely camouflaged among the trees.

Nelson, #4593 was the ill-fated 130. Hope this helps.

Nelson, I think the PAF has only one airworthy C-130.

On Sept , 9 last year the Inquirer reported, "Lt. Col. Miguel Ernesto Okol, PAF spokesperson, said . . . “and more flying C130 airplanes” will be arriving starting next year."

2012 is just around the corner and, well, I don't hear the drone of C-130s in the distance yet ;)

Hello, as of this date(Dec.2011),how many flying C-130 does the PAF have? What tail # crashed at the Davao Gulf?
Thanks.

hi brods..so what are we going to do with those unreliable C130s, can I suggest dispose it as a scrap and use the proceeds to buy another aircraft that can capable to fly.

Ay Naku Mr. President mag comercial plane n lamang kau, mahirap na baka mawalan kmi ng magaling na Presidente....

Hi jj, I don't think the PAF has such aircraft. Just last week Pres. Aquino said he would rather fly on commercial flights.
jj 11-Jul-2010 12:45
is it true na mayroon boeing 737 (presidential aircraft) ang Philippine Air Force? Thank you.

None of those four C-130s in the background are in flying condition.

The white L-100 (which you call a C-130) is seen parked at the ramp in the foreground together with the C-130 on the right and 2 Nomads (small white). I believe these planes were in flying condition at that time.

Hope this helps MJ.
