One of the pilots in the deadly crash of an FA-50 fighter jet in Bukidnon was supposed to exchange vows with his fianc\u00e9e on March 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Chino Gaston\u2019s report on “24 Oras” on Thursday, 1st Lieutenant AJ Dadulla looked forward to spending time with her bride after the wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cNagtatanong siya kung bibilhan ba namin ng wheelchair yung papa namin\u2026para sa kanyang kasal. Pagkatapos ng kasal, gusto niya munang mag-spend nang ilang mga araw o siguro linggo kasama \u2018yung mapapangasawa niya po,\u201d said Jovenel Dadulla, the victim\u2019s brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(He asked if we had to buy our father a wheelchair for the wedding. After the wedding, he planned to spend a few days, perhaps a week with his wife.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTinitingnan na lang po na si AJ ay nakapagbuwis ng kanyang buhay para sa bayan. Sa ganoon po ay medyo gumagaan nang kaunti ang aming pakiramdam,\u201d Jovenel added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(The way we look at it, AJ sacrificed his life for the country. This way, it somehow eases how we feel.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other casualty was Major Jude Salang-oy, a veteran pilot who was a part of the PAF’s historic deployment to the recent Pitchblack Exercise in Darwin, Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both Salang-oy and Dadulla were members of the 7th Tactical Fighter Squadron or Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

The bodies of the two pilots were also recovered from the crash site earlier in the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The remains were brought to a funeral parlor in Cagayan de Oro and will be flown on Friday or Saturday to Villamor Airbase for military honors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further, authorities have already recovered the plane\u2019s flight data recorder<\/a> which could help determine the speed, elevation, and condition of the aircraft when the accident occurred.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Philippine Air Force\u2019s (PAF) investigation team has already arrived at the crash site in Bukidnon to conduct a forensic investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the angles they are looking at for the crash of the fighter jet are possible mechanical problems as well as human factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to look at all angles. Yes, you\u2019ve mentioned material factor, mechanical factors, human factor –\u00a0 we are going to look at their medical records, mental state records, and aside from that, environmental is also a factor,\u201d said PAF<\/a> spokesperson Colonel Maria Consuelo Castillo. \u2013Vince Angelo Ferreras\/NB, GMA Integrated News<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
