But the PAF should also provide priority in refurbishing their other rotor units like the Sikorsky S-70, S-76 and especially the MD-500 & BO-105’s. The only problem of the PAF or rather the whole Phil. Armed Forces is budget. Now that the Phil. Government is prioritizing this issue due to the predicament with China, the Phil. Government should also set aside funds not just for new acquisition but funds for repair & maintenance. I have seen the Phil. Government usually take priority and even pride in acquiring new platforms for the Armed Forces, but give low priority or even forget the repair & maintenance aspect. Above mentioned rotor aircraft except maybe for the MD-500 are excellent for Naval Aviation use. These units if put back on active status could greatly compliment the new rotor aircraft being obtained for the two ex-Hamilton Class Cutters, the upcoming new Frigates and even the upcoming Strategic Sealift Vessels. My parting words, the Phil. Government, DND and PAF should include in their yearly budget funds for repair & maintenance and budget should have a steady increase in funds to maintain these excellent aircraft's especially the twin-engine helicopters like the BO-105s which are better for over water use.BOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728184886169422986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926749112910789389.post-41355358148738608652015-05-21T01:50:43.974+07:002015-05-21T01:50:43.974+07:00this is too good :) www.eshopori.com nice to read ...this is too good :) www.eshopori.com nice to read Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660071183057671145noreply@blogger.com
