                    [Title] => Aussies getting PAF OV-10 as museum piece
                    [Summary] => 



The Vietnam War-vintage OV-10 Bronco bomber may still be useful in the government’s campaign against insurgency and terrorism, but in Australia, it’s a museum piece.


The carcass of one of the Philippine Air Force (PAF)’s OV-10 Broncos will be taken to Australia after the visit of the Royal Australian Navy heavy lift ship Tobruk in the country on March 2-5, Philippine Navy spokesman Commander Giovanni Carlo Bacordo said.

The twin-engine OV-10, piloted by 1Lt. Maureen Fajardo and co-pilot Capt. Villamor Feria, was landing on the runway after taking part in aerial combat maneuvers with US forces when its right landing gear collapsed, causing the aircraft to swerve to the right.

Capt. Aniano Amatong, 31, ordered his co-pilot to bail out of a malfunctioning plane. Capt. James Acosta did and survived.

Amatong then steered his doomed plane away from the populated areas of Paombong, Bulacan and headed for an open pond. It was too late for him to bail out. But the tragedy took no other casualties.

Pure heroism. It has to be called that.
