PAF’s Huey fleet grounded after Bukidnon crash Michael Punongbayan
MANILA, Philippines Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana announced yesterday the grounding of all UH-1H or Huey helicopters of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) following a crash in Bulonay, Bukidnon on Saturday that left seven persons dead.
“In accordance with established protocols, the PAF’s entire fleet of Hueys has been grounded and all units will be inspected,” Lorenzana said.
The grounding of the Hueys was aimed to achieve zero accidents in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, especially in the PAF, wherein an accident almost always results in the death of an aircraft’s crewmembers, Lorenzana said.
