Air Force to train more pilots for supersonic jets

THE Philippine Air Force (PAF) will continue to train more pilots even as it awaits ten additional FA-50 fighter jets in the next two years, Maj. Gen. Galileo Gerard Kintanar, the chief of air staff, announced on Monday.

At the same time, Kintanar disclosed that two of the recently delivered supersonic aircrafts from South Korea will be based at the Clark Air Base in Pampanga because the Basa Air Base in Floridablanca town in the province and the airfields in Subic Bay are not prepared to accommodate them.
