Just some nice Pictures of the FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) conducting an Aerial Patrol over the 'Talampas ng Pilipinas' (Philippine Rise) in celebration of 8th Anniversary of it being renamed from "Benham Rise".
You can access the original Photos on the Facebook Page of the “5th Fighter Wing, Air Defense Command” here: https://web.facebook.com/5thFighterWingPAF/posts/pfbid037Au2w9zor2R8PmW11BPVikPpMzesZ5PcG4s2pGrP8DiNjUwaqkGQwYgpL1ZhdXJil
MY THOUGHTS: Did anybody notice that, EIGHT full Years after it was renamed, the Philippines still has not done any Deep Sea Mining Activities in the Area at all? All these Years I thought the United States (US) or its Allies would help the Philippines explore and mine that Area, but NO, NOTHING up to now.
Meanwhile, every time a Chinese Survey Vessel happens to pass by there, they suddenly make a lot of Noise about it, which is absolutely ridiculous, considering that we have not done anything in the Area ourselves, it is just being completely WASTED …
