In reference to the Philippine Air Force in the '60s...

The Air Force was at its peak in the Sixties. I was a young captain then, and even the fuel, my uniform, my helmet - everything - was paid for by the Americans. When I commanded an F-5 squadron, I had 22 brand-new F-5s. Our maintenance personnel were also trained by the Americans. You could say that it was [the] United States Air Force run by Filipinos.
-Lt. Gen. Antonio Sotelo, PAF (ret.)
