02.92, 03.95 (photo proof), 01.97, 05.98

N.6519

89 (not confirmed!)

ROCAF > US (FSI, Mojave 10.87) > PAF early 1989

c. (1989?) one(?) F-5B ex ROCAF

If this aircraft was indeed not part of the 1989 ROCAF package it could be another candidate for the aircraft traded against a P-51 Mustang previously exhibited at the PAF Museum at Villamor AB and heavily damaged in a typhoon. See > „13326“.

40780

74-0780

N.8138

06.96, 01.97, 05.98

ex ROCAF.  Stored at Clark.

c. 1993 one(?) F-5A ex ROCAF(?)

Most likely the aircraft traded against a P-51 Mustang previously exhibited at the PAF Museum at Villamor AB and heavily damaged in a typhoon. But the P-51 is reported to have returned to the PAF Museum...

„13326“ (thought to be fake s/n)

64-13326(?)

N.6095?

PAF Museum, Villamor AB „since 03.93“, 01.96, 02.02

true 64-13326, c/n N.6095, was SVNAF,  then ROCAF 1202 (but reportedly w/o as such!)

c. 1995 three (or five?) F-5As ex ROKAF

During the visit of Pres. Ramos to Seoul in June 1993, the ROK reportedly offered the PAF eight F-5As and four F-5Bs at „friendship prices“.

In April 1994 it was reported that the Philippines and the ROK had „reached an understanding“ regarding transfer of 6-8 F-5s to the PAF.

pilot killed

Aircraft written off after being badly damaged in take-off accident (aircraft re-paired?).

F-5A

pilot 1st Lt Noe Palmera Linsangan killed; also three people on the ground killed

Crashed within Clark AB complex when inbound to Basa as part of a four-ship F-5A flight preparing for deployment to Palawan. The formation penetrated low clouds at about 3500 AGL when Noe, the No.4, and the No.2 pilot Quijano declared loss of visual contact with the formation and peeled off in opposite directions. A large plume of black smoke billowing from a gaping hole in the heart of Angeles City marked the spot where Noe’s F-5A exploded.
