Philippine FA-50PH made its Maiden Flight!
gamespinas29 posted a topic in Military and General Aviation
Hi there guys! As a follow up to my old SF2 post. In South Korea, the South Korean Designed FA-50PH(built specifically for the Philippines)made its maiden flight last June 19! Finally, after over a decade of having no fighters, we are finally going to get ourselves some air defense! Even if the FA-50 wont arrive to the country until December, I'm already so hyped about it. Oh...so in compensation for this historical event, I'm gonna fill this topic with the history of Philippine Interceptors.- 7 replies

Well, its official. After a decade after the retirement of the obsolete F-5A/B fighters. The Philippine Air Force which lacked any combat aircraft has now received its first 2 FA-50's last November 28....though it may not be special for most people, for us...back to supersonic! When it went near Clark Air Base. Two AS.211's of the Philippine 7th Tactical Squadron(Our only Air Defense Wing) escorted the FA-50's to their new home... It was commissioned along with the brand new C-295 and 6 AW-109E "Power" Armed Scout Helicopters So...though once again, it may be a repost...but can I request someone to make this little fighter to Strike Fighters 2....pretty please? Sorry for the double post guys, internet here in the Philippines is dodgy and very buggy as hell. There are times where things would appear twice. Sorry for that...it happens most of the time, from chat rooms to comment sections.

So is there anyone here that can make the KAI T-50 "Golden Eagle"? or at least the LIFT version the FA-50? If there is anyone out there, thanks -

So...sorry for the long reply, the first Fighter by the Philippine Air Force is the P-26 Boeing "Peashooter", a good monoplane fighter when it first flew in 1932...but by December 1941, the P-26 was clearly outdated. However, even so, fighters from the 6th Pursuit Squadron of the Philippine Army Air Corps managed to take off even under enemy fire from zero's. Lead by Captain Jesus A. Villamor, their Squadron managed to shoot down 4 japanese aircraaft. 1 G3M "Nell" and 4 zeros. 2 were shot down by Villamor himself. Not really that interesting for some people out there but...hey...a peashooter vs a zero ain't a fair fight.- 7 replies

This is the first time in a decade that my country had access to a supersonic fighter. The last time was in 2005 when we retired our 40 year old F-5's, so this small light MRF is pretty special after over 10 years of not having a single fighter asset. -
