Sulu residents recover unmanned 'spy plane'

JOLO, Sulu -- Residents of a village in Indanao town have recovered what is apparently an unmanned spy plane, Jolo councilor Cocoy Tulawie said on Thursday.

Tulawie said the aircraft crashed after hitting a coconut tree on February 10.

Handing over photos of the aircraft to the Inquirer on Thursday, Tulawie said it could be a US spy plane.

He said the aircraft was being kept by a villager in Indanan.


The military has yet to comment on the find.

I have just seen TV Patrol and this news was televised, the UAV had a wing span of 3 meters, a video camera was inside, the funny part was that the reporter quoted the plane as a P3 Orion ???!!! :dunno: :pistols:

Are they sure that the UAV is form the Americans?

MSantor is not a man of sound reason. Savages have always preferred the club for they know that they are powerless against the pen. But who is the greater fool - the savage or the one that gives him power? May Truth rebuke you.

This must be what the Americans are searching for? Maybe for almost a week now....I believe there is a good pay that comes with the returning of this UAV since this aircraft contained vital information for the US.

With regards to the reporter, I guess mediamen should be intelligent & familiar with some Military Stuff. Its embarassing to call the UAV as P3 Orion.....For sure they will be laugh by those who are familiar with it...

Would that plane happen to be the Raven? It's a compact UAV designed to give troops an added eye in the field

can someone tell those defense journalists to go to defense forums such as the PDFF and the PDF so that they can distinguish the P-3 Orion from that UAV?! :armyroleyes:
