The Philippine Air Force welcomed its new C-130H tactical transport aircraft with a water cannon salute as it landed at the Clark Air Base, Mabalacat City, Pampanga, on February 16, 2024. The aircraft was ferried from Waco, Texas, to the Philippines by US aircrew.
This C-130H, bearing tail number 5157, marks the second of two C-130 aircraft granted by the US Government through the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) Program. The first unit was delivered on January 29, 2021, and formally turned over to the PAF in February 2021 (and lost in a deadly crash five months later).
