April 28, 2024: PAF discuss Plans for FA-50 and C-130 Stopover in Indonesia 

The Indonesian Press reported that a Delegation from the Philippine Air Force (PAF) recently visited the Pattimura Air Force Base in Ambon, Indonesia to discuss the possible stopover there for the refueling of their FA-50PH Fighting Eagle and C-130 Hercules Aircraft on their way to participate in the "Pitch Black" Exercise in Australia. 

Thanks to Indonesia in advance for helping the Philippines out, or at least considering helping the Philippines out. I've always seen them as probably our closest Ally in South East Asia (SEA), we've never had any significant Problems with them in the Past.

March 1, 2024: March 2024 Black Eagles Aerobatic Team Airshow in Pampanga

Good News, the Black Eagles Aerobatic Team of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) will be conducting a Series of Airshows here in the Philippines, and the ones on March 4 and 5, 2024 will be open to the Public, although you will have to register with the Philippine Air Force (PAF) first to attend the Events. 

I will provide the Link below where you can register if you plan to attend the Event/s. I probably won’t be attending this one, just a bit too far for me. But if you are in the Area there in Pampanga or willing to travel there, then good for you. 

I think they will likely do some Static Display of PAF Aircraft also, just like they did during the last Black Eagles Airshow here in the Philippines I think a Year or so ago. 

I did attend an Aircraft Display at Clark several Years ago, my Tip if you are going is to wear Light Clothes and a Hat. Also see the Link below for more Instructions from the PAF about the Event. 

Here is the Link to the official PAF Post about the Event, just follow the Instructions if you plan to attend it: https://web.facebook.com/piopaf/posts/pfbid02e5SeR4VAUtWLdYbRnXHi4F2AwifopEq72zWo2v8EMroEHNZ2EVDWGNy2rXdYXhWpl
