MANILA (PNA) -- To ensure the airworthiness of all its available aircraft, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) has allocated the sum of PHP20,128,000 for the acquisition of spare parts needed for the maintenance of the electrical systems of four of its Rockwell OV-10 'Bronco" attack planes.
PAF Bids and Awards Committee chair Brig. Gen. Nicolas Parilla, in a bid bulletin submitted to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System, said interested parties can submit their bids on April 21, 9 a.m. at the PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City.
The spares are intended for the maintenance and repair of OV-10 attack planes with tail numbers 136, 139, 145, and 636.
The OV-10s are the PAF's premier ground attack aircraft. Around six to eight units are still in service as of this posting.
They are part of the PAF's 15th Strike Wing based in Sangley Point, Cavite.

BalasHapusFellow bloggers, if I may the non-standard four bladed OV-10s that you see in the captioned picture is one of the aircraft went through Service Life Extension (SLEP) by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) in 2004 through Marsh Aviation Company in Mesa, Arizona, USA. It involved overhauling and modernizing the airframes and systems, replacement of the original 3-bladed propellers with new 4-bladed ones made by , replacing the gearboxes with new ones, overhauling the aircraft's systems and zero-timing the airframe. A new locally made 20mm gun pod was equipped on the aircraft. In addition between 2010 to 2012, the OV-10s were also modernized by making it night flying capable and equipped with up-to-date navigational equipment. Some PAF OV-10s were modified to carry precision guided munitions (PGM) in the form of GBU-12 Paveway II 500lb laser-guided bombs
BalasHapusSLEP'ed aircraft can be distinguished from other OV-10s in the fleet by its grey color scheme with the usual shark nose paint, and the 4-bladed propellers.
