We have exactly one. Used to be two but one was destroyed in an accident. Used by the Presidential Wing.

the Philippine Air Force has two S-70 Blackhawks, both of which are with the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing. one of the Blackhawks already crashed while the other one has been refurbished and, as far as i can remember, still remains with the 250.

the S-70 Blackhawks would work well with the Air Commando Squadron. we could use them for commando and special operations and occasional search-and-rescue missions.

if the PAF has a lot of experience with the UH-1H and other Bell helicopters, it also has some experience with Sikorsky helicopters, which is exactly the reason why both the S-70A Blackhawk and the S-76C++ will work well within the PAF for commando missions and search-and-rescue operations respectively.
