That's very idealistic of you sewer rat, but I don't the President will ever ride in one, and besides she's just excess baggage during an actual rescue operation. Yes, the current PAW helo can only serve as transport during SAR missions. It has no hoist, no surface search radar, no trained rescue diver. I agree with Tormentor's proposal, dedicated SAR helo is more important than 2 VIP helos and 2 VIP fixed-wing planes. |

So may magagawa pa ba tayo kung nabili na ??? What the heck kung right or wrong yung desisyon nila ... nandyan na yan ... I guess mas effective yung mga suggestions or critisism natin dun sa mga equipment na di pa nabibili or under evaluation pa lang. Just my Opinion

i think the CG has reportedly in process of getting 5 SAR hleis from SWINIK of poland, i dont know what particular heli but maybe the upgraded russian heli similar to what they offered the PAF in the attack mode. Looked ugly for an attack heli, but i think fine for SAR roles only of which poland is doing. Why not transfer all the S76 helis of the PAF into SAR mode?i think we have only 2 plus 1 UH12 that ive seen. some S76 are used for gunship roles, talk about overkill!! the S76 is not a dedicated combat heli, a transport role will do but its seriouslty underpowered. What is has is speed and range, of which a SAR heli should have. so why not bring 3 s76 gunships that are operational, plus 3 from the hanagr, bring the SAR force to a dozen?that way, will allocate even the old S76 used by the VIPs into SAR. MOre s76 for SAR IS GOOD!!

why dedicated SAR choppers are more sensible than new Presidential aircraft: 9 crew of sunken cargo vessel still missing, only 2 were rescued http://www.gmanews.tv/story/95973/2-of-11-...ued-off-Antique |
