PAF pilots, practicing 'flying skills' using the FA-50PH fighter jets


The fighter pilots of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) are undergoing a three-day air defense training exercises.

The three-day training program is aimed at strengthening and maximizing the flying skills of pilots.

According to Philippine Air Force (PAF) Spokesperson Maj. Aristides Galang said these training exercises called "Sanay Sibat" a simulated air defense exercise aimed at strengthening the pilot's skills and air tactics with the supersonic fighter aircraft equipped with modern radar, avionics and weapons systems.

Galang added that during the day-to-day exercises, fighter pilots demonstrated their hustle of their five air combat scenarios including the suppression of enemy air defense, tactical air intercept and combat air patrol.

PAF leadership now plans to make air defense training exercises semi-annually.
On the other hand, Philippine Air Force (PAF) chief Lt. Gen. Galileo Gerald Kintanar is a tactical demonstration flight as a culminating activity in three days air defense training exercises.

The flight of Air Force chief in the FA-50PH exercise fighter aircraft at 40,000 feet aboard is part of the culminating activity.

Highlights of the said training exercises will showcase the capabilities of the purchased FA-50PH fighter jets from South Korea.

Aside from the FA-50PH, the PAAF also deployed their S211 trainer jets.

The "Spear Spear" exercises are part of Central Luzon and the Clark Air Base in Pampanga is the staging area.
