From Update.Ph (Feb 29): Air Force to acquire spares for MG-520 attack helicopter vital systems
The Philippine Air Force (PAF) has allocated the sum of PHP39,955,357.32 for the acquisition of spare parts needed for the maintenance of the engine, electrical, airframe, fuel, and instrument system of one of its McDonnell Douglas MG-520 “Defender” attack helicopters.
Submission and opening of bids is on March 8, 9:00 a.m. at the PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City.
Prospective bidders should have an experience in a similar project within the last five years.
The PAF is known to operate between 12 to 16 models of the MG-520, according to military sources.
The PAF affair with the MG-520 started in the early 90s when 25 units of these excellent aircraft were delivered to country.
It was used with great effect against New People’s Army (NPA) rebels and lawless elements like the Abu Sayyaf Group for the past few years.
The MG-520 is derived from the MG-500 light utility helicopter.
