The Philippine Air Force (PAF) was again put into the limelight with the crashing of its C-130 plane last Monday night a few minutes after taking off from Davao City.

Holy sheep, another PAF plane going down. And not only that, out of the reported 5 C-130 planes on PAF’s inventory, only 2 are fly-worthy. And now with the recent crashing… yes folks, that’s only one flying plane left.

PAF’s C-130 planes are something equivalent to the Airbus planes of Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific. The soldiers being transported from various military camps are the passengers of AFP’s personal airline and their guns, rockets, cannons, trucks, food, etc. are their cargo.

Now imagine what would happen if PAL or CEB would have only 1 plane running and they have an entire nation to move. Mad scramble! That is exactly the rut PAF Airlines is into right now - especially with the ongoing operations against the MILF in Mindanao. And take note, C-130’s are not exclusively for soldiers use only.

It made me curious and wondering how strong our air force is. What I found out did not really surprise me. It just really made me wished… that no foreign nation will ever dare to attack us.

Or else…
