hope there are still spare parts for this... this will be vital for quick response during calamities and the likes...

I think kasama yan sa contract bro yang free spare parts for 1year or 2years sa package nyan... may dalawa pa na coming tatlo yan sila sa pagkakalam ko

This might seem neither here nor there but if the PAF can get a few more of those planes, would it be possible to convert one or two into a gunship like a "baby" AC-130 Spectre?

In my opinion, I think this type of plane is to small for big guns and its load that Lockheed AC-130 Spectre Gun Ship has. I mean look at its built,

I didn't mean a full-size Spectre; I said a "baby" Spectre. Wouldn't something like, say, a twenty-five millimeter gun like the one on the Bradley light armored vehicle or two of the Cobra helicopter's guns fit in there?

This are good size planes to use in those places with a small runway.

agree.. you could place a gun at the bottom of the cockpit area and two at the wings... then at least it could defend itself in case it is threatened...
