F/A-50 Golden Eagle Grounded by Bird Strike Under Repair
August 24, 2016 at 12:01 am by
PHILIPPINE Air Force spokesman Colonel Araus Robert Musico on Tuesday confirmed that one of the new FA50 “Golden Eagle” jet fighter that was grounded due to a bird strike is already under repair, almost five months after the incident in April.“Yes, one of our two FA50 aircraft was on a takeoff roll when a bird hits its engine,” Musico said in a text message, a day after the story was published.
“The engine is now undergoing repair and will soon be in service,” Musico said, again correcting the source’s information that the damaged engine was “totally damaged.”The supersonic aircraft was among the first batch of a couple of delivery made by manufacturer Korean Aerospace Inc. in November 2015.The government had ordered a squadron of the aircraft, or 12 units, worth P18.9 billion through a government-to-government negotiation.

Okay, thanks for those detials.
So it happened during a take-off roll and not in the air...which is a good thing.
And they are repairing it, which for the Philippines is also a good thing.
Yes, I would say that receiving 59 such armored vehicles is a pretty big delivery alright!

Hyundai's HDF-3000 multipurpose frigate is a very decent design, capable, modern, and affordable.
Two of these for the Philippines will be important for them.
