THE retrieval of the ill-fated Philippine Air Force's (PAF) C-130 Hercules Lockheed is still being studied by PAF because while it is necessary to inspect the 37-year-old plane to determine the cause of the crash, it will cost a lot to retrieve it from the 426-foot depth.
A memorial service for the nine PAF members and two Scout Rangers on board the aircraft was held Tuesday morning on board the Philippine Navy ship Benguet at the crash site area, some 1.3 nautical miles off the coast of Barangay Bucana, Davao City.
