On 12 February 1998 the Boeing Company announced its intention to sell its commercial helicopter business. Boeing built commercial helicopters -- the MD 500 Series, MD 600, and MD Explorer -- in Mesa, Ariz., where it also produces the AH-64D Apache Longbow. As of early 1998 the facility employed 5,300, of which 350 were dedicated to the production of commercial helicopters. On 25 February 1998 Bell Helicopter Textron announced a plan to acquire the Boeing MD 500 and MD 600 series product lines, However, the transaction was dis-approved by competition authorities at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in June 1998. Subsequently, on 19 January 1999 McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Co., the indirect subsidiary of The Boeing Company, and MD Helicopters Holding, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of the Dutch company RDM Holding, Inc., signed an agreement on an asset purchase of Boeing's MD 500, MD 600N® and MD Explorer® series of light commercial helicopter product lines. Included in the product line are the MD 500E and MD 530F® single-engine helicopters with conventional tail rotors, the MD 520N® and MD 600N single-engine helicopters with Boeing's exclusive NOTAR® no tail rotor system for anti-torque and directional control, and the MD Explorer series of twin-engine, eight-place helicopters. RDM is a European-based industrial group with aerospace activities. The company designs and builds diesel-electric submarines and builds and repairs ships, manufactures and overhauls military vehicles, and produces defense and aerospace products, including landing gear and transmissions for aircraft and helicopters. It is a subcontractor to Boeing for landing gear and fuselage assemblies for Apache helicopters.

PHILIPPINES AIR FORCE 2010 F-16A FIGHTER AIRCRAFTS
-
Philippines Air Force doesn't operate any F-16s. Closest thing they have to a fighter is an S211 and OV-10. Their multirole fighter program was scrapped since 1997.
-
I thought they have A-8 crusader? But I believe it has since retired.
Their AirForce is pathetic, no even a decent fighter jet. They shall learn from Lebanon. At least operate the hawker hunter better than nothing.
-
They retired their F-8 Crusaders and their F-5A/B freedom fighters alr.

The Folland Gnat was designed by W. E. W. Petter who had already designed the Lysander, Whirlwind, Canberra and a lagge part of the English Electric Lightning. The Folland Gnat first flew in 1955 and was a very small swept-wing subsonic jet fighter, it was considered as a replacement for the RAF's DH Venom fighter in 1958 but the excellent Hawker Hunter fighter was chosen instead. In 1957 Gnat fighter was re-designed to meet advanced trainer specification T.185D for the RAF as a "stepping stone" between the DH Vampire T 11 trainers and the latest supersonic fighters being introduced into RAF service like the English Electric Lightening. The Folland Gnat entered RAF service and was introduced in November 1962 to No 4 Flying Training School based at Royal Air Force Valley in Anglesey as an advanced Jet Trainer.
In mid 1963 an informal aerobatic display team was formed by Flight Lieutenant Lee Jones at RAF Valley, the team's two seater Folland Fo.144 Gnat trainers were all painted bright yellow and flown by flight instructors who called their new aerobatic team ‘The Yellow Jacks’. -

3. FV 106 SAMSON RECOVERY VEHICLE
The FV106 Samson armored recovery vehicle is a part of the British CVR(T) family
When the CVR(T) series of aluminum armored light vehicles was designed, a full range of variants was considered including an armored recovery vehicle. A total of 136 FV106 Samsons were built.The basic hull of the Spartan was adapted to contain a winch which was operated to the rear of the vehicle. A hinged spade anchor was designed in two halves to preserve access to the rear door. To winch any heavy vehicles or lighter ones from difficult slopes, it is necessary to lay out several pulleys to get the maximum effect from a fairly low-capacity winch. The CVR(T) series of vehicles came into use in the early 1970s and most types are still current.

M1091 or M1091A1 5 ton Fuel Truck.The new Oshkosh Wheeled Tankers, designed for the UK Ministry of Defence and available in the United States, are the highest performance tactical tanker family in the world. The 3960-gallon Tactical Aircraft Refueller, 5280-gallon Close Support Tankers and 4755-gallon Close Support Tankers for Water are all towed by the 6 x 6 MTVR Tractor. The tractor is based on the combat proven MTVR which has been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. These modern marvels provide unmatched reliability, proven rugged performance and remarkable maneuverability to significantly expand on- and off-road supply capabilities.
With TAK-4® independent suspension, central tire inflation, all-wheel drive, and rear steer, this tractor model is derived from the vehicle considered by many to be the most mobile military truck in the world. That mobility greatly enhances the flexibility of deployed forces. In addition, Oshkosh's tractor and tanker-trailer combination is transportable by tactical aircraft to facilitate quick, efficient deployment to support troops worldwide.
