                    [Summary] => CLARK FIELD, Pampanga — The investigation into the crash of Philippine Air Force  (PAF) OV 10 combat aircraft last Jan. 24 was stalled by the failure to dig out the plane’s left engine and instrument panel which were buried deep in the mud in a fishpond  in Barangay Dinukot in Paombong, Bulacan.


"Even helicopters could not pull them out," Lt. Col. Restituto Padilla, PAF spokesman, told The STAR yesterday.

The PAF makes do with OV-10 Broncos, a light attack aircraft first used by the US Marines in Vietnam in 1968 and phased out by the US armed forces in 1995.

Now the PAF has also indefinitely grounded its OV-10 fleet following the crash of a Bronco that killed its pilot last Tuesday in a fishpond in Paombong, Bulacan.
