The Philippine Air Force (PAF) is allocating the sum of
Php4,937,849.24 for the engine upgrade of SIAI-Marchetti SF.260M aircraft.
Submission and opening of bids is scheduled for 9 a.m.,
April 28 at the PAF Procurement Center Conference Room, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City
Prospective bidders should have an experience in similar
project within the last five years.
The SIAI-Marchetti SF.260 (now Alenia Aermacchi SF-260) is
an Italian light aircraft marketed as an aerobatics and military trainer.
It was designed by Stelio Frati, originally for Aviamilano,
which flew the first prototype of it (then designated F.260) on July 15, 1964.
Actual production was undertaken when SIAI Marchetti
purchased the design soon thereafter and continued with this firm until the
company was bought by Aermacchi in 1997.
The military versions are popular with smaller air forces,
which can also arm it for use in the close-support role.
The PAF is known to operate between 10 to 18 units of the
above-mentioned aircraft in its inventory.
