On October 23, 2026, two Philippine Air Force SF-260 trainer aircraft collided midair during a training rehearsal at Fernando Air Base in Batangas province, south of Manila. All four pilots on board were killed. The Philippine Air Force has grounded its entire fleet of 16 SF-260 planes and launched a full investigation covering flight planning, pilot training, maintenance, and command. This is the second fatal crash involving the same aircraft model in less than six months, raising serious questions about the air force's training safety and maintenance standards.
