In line with celebrations to commemorate the 30th
anniversary of the EDSA-1 Revolution, the Philippine Air Force (PAF)'s two
brand-new FA-50PH "Fighting Eagle" light-interim fighter aircraft
will perform a high-speed opener pass.
This was confirmed by PAF spokesperson Col. Enrico Canaya in
an interview Monday.
The two Korea Aerospace Industries-made jet planes will be
followed by a fly-by consisting of 15 SIAI-Marchetti SF-260FH trainer aircraft,
three newly-acquired Bell
Two UH-IH combat utility helicopters will also conduct a
flower drop at the EDSA Shrine in Ortigas
Avenue
Air Force participation was requested by the EDSA-1
organizers, the PAF spokesperson said.
Canaya also said this would be the first time the PAF
conducts aerial maneuvers in honor of this historic event as most of the Air
Force participation in celebrating the EDSA-1 People's Power Revolution was
limited to flower drops.
