From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 3): First Filipina C-130 pilot-in-command flies PAF chief to Benito Ebuen Air Base

Major Marjorie D. Mukay, the first Filipina C-130 pilot-in-command, was tasked to fly outgoing Philippine Air Force (PAF) head Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Delgado for his last official visit to Benito Ebuen Air Base, Mactan, Cebu Thursday, said PAF spokesperson Col. Enrico Canaya.

Mukay graduated top 10 of the Philippine Military Academy Class of 2005.

She made her maiden flight as the first Filipina C-130 pilot-in-command last Nov. 10.

Mukay was personally selected by Delgado to fly him to Benito Ebuen Air Base Thursday.

The PAF chief is scheduled to retire this coming March 9 after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56.

Turnover ceremony of the PAF Command is set at Fernando Air Base, Lipa City with President Benigno S. Aquino III as the presiding officer.
