"As long as they can secure the runway, we can fly in," says Capt. Rudy Petican, a retired Philippine Air Force officer. The Filipino pilots of TransAfrik, a private company hired by the United Nations, have seen action in Cambodia, Rwanda, Somalia, Angola, and other international hotspots. "I’ve experienced my plane being shot at in Rwanda," says Petican.


In Somalia, Petican and his Filipino crew were ordered to shuttle a warlord to meetings with the UN. "Medyo matapang-tapang ang mga Filipino at neutral ang tingin sa atin" (Filipino pilots are brave and are seen as neutral), says Capt. Cesar Manzano, Petican’s co-pilot.
