Sa gitna ng mga batikos mula kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at ilan sa mga miyembro ng Gabinete nito, dumating pa rin sa bansa ang isang C-130 plane na nagmula sa Amerika.

Dumating na kahapon sa Mactan Cebu ang Lockheed C-130 Hercules type cargo aircraft na nakuha ng PIlipinas mula Amerika sa ilalim ng United States Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program.

Ang naturang eroplano ay ang ikalimang C-130 ng Pilipinas.

Ayon kay Air Force Spokesperson Col. Antonio Francisco, magsisilbing piloto ng eroplano ang kauna-unahang babaeng nasertipikahan bilang ‘pilot in command’ ng isang C-130 na si Major Marjorie Mukay.

Sa ngayon, bukod sa limang C-130, may tatlong Airbus Military C-295 medium aircraft at tatlong Fokker F-27 transport plane ang Philippine Air Force.
