Other photo of this S70 blackhawk (background): http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2...1075iifwnf1.jpg S-70-5 Black Hawk: Export version for the Philippine Air Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-70 We had 2 of them, but the other one lost in a crash, atleast that's what i heard. Nice to have them though, and i hope they get more of them next time.

Saturday, 23 May 2009 THE SUN had barely peeked out of the horizon last Tuesday when members of the 505th 3rd Search and Rescue Squadron of the Philippine Air Force headed for a rescue mission called in a few hours earlier that a landslide hit Sitio Mangapispis, Brgy Napnapan, Pantukan, Compostela Valley. Colonel Ross Briguez, commanding officer of the Tactical Operations Group of the Philippine Air Force, dispatched the squadron from its airbase at the old Davao International Airport with ringing instructions: save lives through medical evacuation of the affected small-scale miners and bring needed materials for the rescue operation. After an initial briefing with Governor Arthur Uy of Compostela Valley and Mayor Toks Sarenas of Pantukan, the rescue chopper piloted by Captain Dennis Rommel Hindang and 2nd Lt. Paul Ryan Yu flew to the site bringing along a medical team, rescue workers namely Ssgt. Alvin Bacaltos and Sgt. Guiller Ramos, two others and a guide. It took 45 minutes for the chopper to reach Boringot Proper, as the guide lost sight of the landing site because of dark clouds that covered the ground from the air. Members of the medical team who used to respond to other disaster areas of the province in the past noticed that the chopper was already hovering near Masara in Maco town. With a very uncooperative weather the chopper landed at a basketball court at Boringot proper, where the survivors initially sought refuge. Several evacuation flights followed bringing a total of 26 injured victims to the hospitals in Pantukan and Tagum City. Before noon Tuesday more lives were saved. In the afternoon and the next day thereafter, more flights were made to transport the 24 people who perished. The rescuers showed grit and determination, sometimes even putting their own lives in jeopardy to save other people. The 505th 3rd Search and Rescue Squadron of the Philippine Air Force made us proud. source
