PH military marks first C-130 flight since deadly July crash
MANILA— The Armed Forces of the Philippines marked on Saturday its first flight of a C-130 since the fatal crash of another cargo plane in Sulu last July.
"By sending them home safely to spend the holiday season with their families, we are able to boost their morale. We are also able to help them financially by providing them with free transportation," Rosario said. "We hope that this momentous event will totally heal us from the trauma we had due to the accident last July 4," he said.
The crash prompted the grounding of the country's remaining C-130 planes. Aside from the C-130 that landed in Jolo, Saturday, the PAF has two of the planes undergoing maintenance.
