It's a VIP chopper, one of those assigned to the President and transferrred to were it is more needed. Upkeep is said to be done by the Dept. of Energy. 2 of these were destroyed by NPA attacks and another 2 lost during coups and another 1 lost in a film shooting. http://www.hueybravo.net/Airforcepage/s-76....htm#Write-Offs |

There are two of these gunships assigned to the Malampaya natural gas region. The rest of the flyable ones are flown by the 505 ARG. They are valued for their overwater safety. |

Is there a room still for improvement with our S76, such as 50 caliber machine gun and missile or rockets. I would like to see that chopper armed with either hellfire or spike ATG missile. no need to armed it with the bigger and more expensive harpoon, since it would be for anti piracy and terrorism only. |

yes there is still more room for improvements for the S-76/AUH-76. my version for Spec Ops support: 1. install FN Herstal combination pods with a .50 cal mg and four 2.75 inch rockets on each side (the rockets fitted in a smaller pod beneath the .50 cal gun pod) 2. install nose mounted FLIR/NV sensors 3. replace engine with more powerful and fuel-efficient engine 4. install NVG for pilots 5. install chaff/flare dispensers and detectors can carry a squad of SF troops and the helo can be used to support such troops for strike missions and the likes... |
