In line with efforts to ensure all its aircraft are
serviceable and mission worthy at all times, the Philippine Air Force (PAF)
announced it is allocating Php10,170,000 for the acquisition of spare parts
needed for the maintenance of its sole Fokker F-28 "Fellowship" VIP
transport plane.
The aircraft is primarily used for domestic presidential
flights.
Pre-bid conference is scheduled for Jan. 21, 9 a.m. at the
PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City
Submission and opening of bids is on Feb. 2, 9 a.m. at the
same venue.
The F-28 is a short range jet airliner designed and built by
Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker.
It is similar in design to the British Aircraft Corporation
BAC One-Eleven and Douglas DC-9, as it had a T-tail and engines mounted at the
rear of the fuselage.
The aircraft has wings with a slight crescent angle of sweep
with ailerons at the tip, simple flaps, and five-section liftdumper only
operated after landing to dump the lift.
