Took this photo of the ill-fated Hercules C-130 cargo plane on November 12 last year shortly after it landed at the Davao International Airport. I was even amazed when it was approaching the runway because it went down on ‘nose dive’ position and slowly touched down. Then I took this shot. This is just one of my several frames.

On Monday evening, it went down in Davao Gulf. Nine crew members are feared to be dead. As of Tuesday afternoon, only body parts and debris from the airplane have been recovered.

The PAF in Davao City has confirmed that this plane on the photo is the same plane that crashed.

So, how many flying coffins left in the hangar of the Philippine Air Force? The recent tragedy only proves that the PAF is 99% Air and 1% Force. :)
