In line with efforts to ensure the airworthiness of all its
available aircraft, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) announced that it is
allocating the sum of Php30,000,000 for the acquisition of a brand-new engine
assembly for one of its Sikorsky S-70 medium transport utility helicopters.
Major Gen. Isagani Silva, PAF Bidding and Awards Committee
chair, in a bulletin posted at the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement
System, said bid opening is slated this coming Oct. 8, 9 a.m. at the PAF
Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City.
The S-70 was developed for the US Army in the 1970s, winning
a competition to be designated the UH-60 Black Hawk and spawning a large family
in US
New and improved versions of the UH-60 have been developed
since. Civilian versions, and some military versions are produced under various
S-70 model designations.
The PAF is known to operate three to six S-70 units in its
inventory.
