PAF SALUTES ITS FALLEN AIRMEN
The Philippine Air Force mourns the loss of Major Jude S Salang-Oy PAF and First Lieutenant April John B Dadulla PAF. Both brave fighter jet pilots lost their lives in a fatal crash at Mt. Kalatungan, Bukidnon during a tactical night operation in support of ground troops on March 4, 2025.
Major Salang-Oy, a member of the Philippine Military Academy "Siklab Diwa" Class of 2014, served the Philippine Air Force with distinction for over a decade, flying numerous critical missions throughout his career. Likewise, First Lieutenant Dadulla, a proud member of the Philippine Air Force Officer Candidate Course "SINAGLAWIN" Class of 2020, displayed exceptional skills and proficiency, qualifying him to fly the most advanced PAF fighter aircraft. Until their last moments, both pilots embodied unwavering dedication and commitment to serving the nation.
The Philippine Air Force extends its heartfelt sympathies to the families, friends, and loved ones of Major Salang-Oy and First Lieutenant Dadulla. The heroism, selflessness, and bravery displayed by these pilots will never be forgotten, and their legacy will continue to inspire future generations of airmen to serve with the same courage, dedication, and commitment to excellence.
