Engine of S-211 jet trainer up repairs
MANILA (PNA) -- One of Philippine Air Force (PAF)'s three remaining SIAI-Marchetti S-211 jet trainers will be having its engine maintained and replaced.
Budget for this project is placed at PhP25,000,000.
The engine is for PAF S-211 with tail number 008.
Pre-bid conference is scheduled for Oct. 21, at 9 a.m. PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City, while submission and opening of bids is on Nov. 10, 9 a.m. at the same venue.
The S-211 is the PAF's sole jet-powered aircraft following the retirement of the Northrop F-5 "Tiger" jet fighter fleet in 2005.
It is now configured for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions pending the arrival of the first two Korea Aerospace Industries F/A-50 "Fighting Eagle" jet aircraft this December.

Why does it look like an Alpha jet
BalasHapusGreetings, at first glance both aircraft looks similar but if you look closely their main physical difference are; the S-211 has a blunt nose while the Alpha Jet is pointed and the S-211 has a straight slanting vertical stabilizer while the Alpha Jet is cranked. I hope this clarifies your query.
