DAVAO CITY, Mar 11 (PIA) The military confirmed the night flights
being conducted by the helicopters of the Philippine Air Force in the
city skies.
Colonel Romeo Brawner, spokesperson of the Eastern Mindanao Command
said the activity is called proficiency training flight of the
Philippine Air Force.
“We need to do this in order to have the ability to fly during the night,” he said.
Brawner pointed out that time is very precious in conducting medical
evacuation on wounded soldiers during a military operation, so chopper
pilots must hone the skills in conducting night flights.
He said that in Davao City, night-flight training is conducted every other three days.
Brawner said that night flight training is also done simultaneously
in the cities of Cebu, Lipa and Metro Manila. (PIA 11-Joey Sem G.
