Arrival of the Philippine Air Force (PAF)’s fifth Lockheed C-130 “Hercules” cargo aircraft was moved to October, not the last week of September, as earlier reported.
PAF spokesperson Col. Araus Robert Musico attributed the change of schedule to many factors, which include sudden change in the departure of the flight crew.
He added that the departure of the PAF pilots tasked to man this C-130 was supposedly this week but it was moved to Sept. 25.
With this development, technical inspection and acceptance of the aircraft will be adjusted, moving the C-130’s departure further in October, Musico pointed out.
The fourth C-130 arrived in Benito Ebuen Airbase, Mactan, Cebu last April 5.
