Aray bhai. Give respect to get respect. Filipinos are really good and friendly people. Each citizen is proud of their country like we are. And lets not try to anger more people, we have enough of that from across the border.

Peace.

There has been no announcement yet Griffin but some of the 5 AW-109's will probably be use as an interim helos , don't have all the information on the current PA/PAF helicopter fleet but most of them are MG-520 and UH-1H gunships plus the W-3A Sokols and also some S-76 , Bell 412 and a Blackhawk for VIP operations ...
