Philippines: Villamor & Clark Airbases

Post by Jazz » Fri Jun 06, 2014 12:40 pm

A few shots taken in January of aircraft on display at the Airforce Museum at Villamor Airbase (part of Manila airport), as well as at Clark, 60 miles to the NW.

P-51D '4823'/001 'Shark of Zambales'. Previously displayed outside as '3373', this is thought to be ex 44-74627 and 44-73373...

Image

Those outside include C-47D 43-48301...

Image

Philippines Government YS-11A RP77...

Image

UH-34D 153131...

Image

F-86D 524140...

Image

F-5A 13326/1 of the 'Blue Diamonds' (named 'Hari Tupas')...

Image

F-8H 147056/313...

Image

Also, Philippines Government Bell 412HP RP2000 was caught departing...

Image

On to Clark, a few displayed at the Airforce Park include another F-8H, 48661/301 (ex 148661)...

Image

And F-5A 10507 (ex 65-10507)...

Image

Close by, just inside the perimeter fence, are a couple of retired airframes, including F-27-200 10246...

Image

Just then, arriving and landing on this clearing/field was PZL W-3A Sokol 310921. All delivered in 2012, its thought the PhAF has eight of these in service, with some/all reported to be based here or in Dauis...

Finally, Dornier Technology has a facility here involved in the production and assembly of the Dornier S-Ray 007 two-seat amphibious aircraft. As well as this, Irén Dornier also owns SEAir, which share the facility and ramp. Irén's personal aircraft include Alouette II RP-C99 (ex 75+23), Bo105M RP-C3699 (ex 80+18) recently written off after an accident, and this very nice Alpha Jet A RP-C999 registered to Dornier No Limits GmbH (anyone confirm the former serial?)...

Nice to see photos from the Philippines!

RP-C999 is c/n 0077, so the former 40+77?
