[Title] => RP still waiting for 30 choppers promised by US forces
[Summary] => CLARK FIELD, Pampanga — The US government has so far failed to realize its commitment to the Arroyo administration to turn over some 30 Huey helicopters to the Philippine military, Air Force chief Lt. Gen. Nestor Santillan said here yesterday.
"The eight UH-1H helicopters which we have already received were those committed during the term of former President Estrada. Those committed to Mrs. Arroyo have not arrived yet," Santillan clarified in an interview with local newsmen during the commemoration here of the 11th anniversary of the 600 air base wing.

[Title] => Air Force men goga-ga over tomato, eggplant crossbreed
[Summary] => CLARK FIELD, Pampanga — Air Force officials call it kamlong.
Nope, it’s neither a secret military cabal nor another sinister plot. It’s a crossbreed of your ordinary kamatis (tomato) and talong (eggplant) which Air Force men are growing at the Air Force City here.
Brig. Gen. Charles Hotchkiss, commander of the 600th Air Base Wing at the Air Force City which hosts about two-thirds of the Air Force’s manpower, said 18 hectares of the Air Force reservation here are devoted to agriculture.

[Title] => US to provide PAF aircraft with night-vision equipment
[Summary] => Air Force helicopter pilots will be equipped with night vision goggles by the United States to allow them to fly at night for anti-terrorism and search-and-rescue operations.
However, Gen. William Begert, commander of the US Air Force in the Pacific, said it would take three years to provide night vision capabilities for all aircraft of the Philippine Air Force.
"Expect that the US military might provide the night vision equipment that you have requested when the Balikatan joint military exercise is held here February next month," he said.
