President Benigno S. Aquino III on Monday expressed his
gratitude to the officers and personnel of the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing
(PAW) of the Philippine Air Force during their courtesy call in Malacañang Palace
The PAW is tasked to provide air transportation to the
President, his/her immediate family members, visiting dignitaries, and VIPs.
“I would like to compliment everybody, from all your
previous Wing commanders to the present Wing commanders, the officers, the men
and civilian employees. I’ve never had any cause to complain about the service
you provided all of us,” the President said in his speech.
“So reliable, dependable, and hopefully, ‘yung tinanim natin
nitong anim na taon na mas may kakayahan na ang gobyernong suportahan naman ang
ating Sandatahang Lakas, among others, ay magpatuloy na, you’ll have better
platforms, more training, more skills upgrading, more support in the service of
the people,” he said.
“From all of us that you have rendered really very, very
good service, I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and I really
wish you clear skies as you proceed in your career path. So, again, thank you
very much from all of us, and hopefully you will continue the splendid service
you’ve done, not only to us but also for our country that made the governance
more effective.”
The 250th PAW is led by Wing Commander Col. Allen Paredes, a
member of the Philippine Military Academy’s 1988 Class “Marangal”.
The 250th PAW also conducts proficiency training of aircrew
and support personnel; operates and maintains common aviation assets of
Government Financial Institutions; performs organizational, field and limited
depot level maintenance of assigned aircraft; performs liaison or coordination
of aircraft requirements for presidential flights; coordinates with appropriate
agencies for field and depot level maintenance of assigned aircraft; provides
command and control and communication in advance base operations for
presidential flights; provides presidential security augmentation; and provides
flight safety and technical officers for VVIP movement locally and abroad.
