PAF Fokker collapses on Legazpi Airport

From the Philippine News Agency (May 11): PAF Fokker collapses on Legazpi Airport

An Fokker F-27 "Friendship" VIP transport aircraft, on a routine training mission, collapsed at the Legazpi Airport in Albay after damaging its nose gear while landing Monday morning.

The incident took place at 10 a.m., Philippine Air Force spokesperson Lt. Col. Enrico Canaya said in a message to the PNA.

He added that the plane was carrying six crewmen, including its pilot.

This prevented normal flight operations from being carried out in the said airfield.

Canaya said that the crippled F-27 was towed clear at 3 p.m., resuming flight operations.

An investigation is now being conducted to determine the exact cause of the mishap.
