Wintertiger Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 In the 80's the Philippine Air Force received more than a dozen S-76 Spirit from the USA. They were configured for ground attack and were armed with 7-round rocket launchers on both sides or a gun pod on one side while a rocket launcher on the other. This was the first time the chopper was fielded as a gunship, later other nations followed in deploying the S-76 as a military combat helicopter. S-76 served the Royal Thai Navy and UAE.. She was referred to as the AUH-76 in the Philippine Air Force. In the late 90's they were withdrawn from combat, and instead used for Search and Rescue. One chopper is used as a VIP transport.
