Nope, it’s neither a secret military cabal nor another sinister plot. It’s a crossbreed of your ordinary kamatis (tomato) and talong (eggplant) which Air Force men are growing at the Air Force City here.


Brig. Gen. Charles Hotchkiss, commander of the 600th Air Base Wing at the Air Force City which hosts about two-thirds of the Air Force’s manpower, said 18 hectares of the Air Force reservation here are devoted to agriculture.

                    [Summary] => CLARK FIELD, Pampanga — Air Force officials call it kamlong.


Nope, it’s neither a secret military cabal nor another sinister plot. It’s a crossbreed of your ordinary kamatis (tomato) and talong (eggplant) which Air Force men are growing at the Air Force City here.


Brig. Gen. Charles Hotchkiss, commander of the 600th Air Base Wing at the Air Force City which hosts about two-thirds of the Air Force’s manpower, said 18 hectares of the Air Force reservation here are devoted to agriculture.

                    [Summary] => Air Force helicopter pilots will be equipped with night vision goggles by the United States to allow them to fly at night for anti-terrorism and search-and-rescue operations.


However, Gen. William Begert, commander of the US Air Force in the Pacific, said it would take three years to provide night vision capabilities for all aircraft of the Philippine Air Force.


"Expect that the US military might provide the night vision equipment that you have requested when the Balikatan joint military exercise is held here February next month," he said.
