Notes

    * - The Philippine Air Force's F-5 fleet was grounded in 2002 and finally retired in October 2005. The final status of the airframes was unclear as of 2009, though many had been sold or had weapons and other equipment stripped.

    ** - The IISS Military Balance noted that as of 2004-2005 there were another 6 C-130B airframes and one L-100-20 airframe in storage. As of 2006, it was reliably reported that only 1 remained active. IISS claims 4 C-130K in service, but highly reliable sources report that as of 2009 only a single C-130 [variant unspecified] was in service.

    *** - These aircraft have a secondary ground attack capability.

    **** - The BO-105C aircraft were transfered to the Philippine Navy between 2000 and 2002.
