I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts.
But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972
at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine.

Structure of lead
Good writing means that the information that is most important to readers comes first -- they shouldn't have to pass over minor stuff to get to the most important stuff. I don't object to the storm history being in the lead, but it shouldn't be the first thing -- the fact that this storm is a major disaster for the Phillipines should come out in the first sentence or two. (I did an edit that set it up that way, but it was reversed, and I don't want to get into a fight about it.) Note that this article is at the "top of the news" on the front page. Regards,

I just cross-posted the same thing -- Excellent work done very quickly. What we need now is a plain-language lead, with technical info moved to the next section, and getting straight to the impact. Interestingly, this page is noted by Google News top sources fourth, after New York Times, Bloomberg, and BBC. It should be presented first for popular audiences, second for meteorologic experts.

The lead of the article should summarize the rest of the article. If the consensus structure of storm articles is that the meteorological history is the first non-lead section, then maybe the first lead paragraph should also mirror it. But as it is, that lead paragraph is too long. This should be trimmed down. --

Let's use Hurricane Katrina as a guide <<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_katrina>>. If no-one else has done so, I will attempt it tomorrow noon, PST. You east-coast early birds should take this on if you are able. 08:48, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Oh, heck I'm up anyway. I took a stab at a possible lead. However, I'm a copyeditor, not a meterologist, and I could not ensure that information cut from the lead is accurately covered in the Meteorological section. Also, the sources are a mess, and I'm a newbie. Here's my attempt at a popularized lead, if someone wants to take it from here. best,

Typhoon Ketsana (International designation: 0916, JTWC designation: 17W, PAGASA name: Ondoy) formed early on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, about 860 km (535 mi) to the northwest of the Pacific island nation of
Palau. [Then one sentence summarizing how it evolved into a Typhoon, in language most readers can understand. The rest can be covered in Meteorological history.]
On Saturday, September 26, Typhoon Ketsana hit the
Philippines, bringing torrential rains to
Metropolitan Manilla not seen since the start of rainfall record-keeping. It produced only moderate winds, but its record-high rainfall of 455 millimetres (17.9 in) in 24 hours led to the worst flooding in living memory.[citation needed]
President Gloria Arroyo declared a "state of calamity" in Metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces, allowing officials to use emergency funds for relief and rescue. On Monday, September 28, President Arroyo appealed for international aid <<
http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/component/content/article/42-rokstories/2940-flood-ravaged-philippines-appeals-for-world-aid>> as it struggles to cope with floods that have killed at least 240 people, displaced nearly half a million people, and caused an estimated US$50 billion in damages. [We can stop here, and allow further details to be covered in Aftermath.]
Lets wait and see what happens during today, since its made landfall on Vietnam, its gonna weaken and i suspect might dissipate later today. But we will need more than 1 sentance for the MH in lead, sicne the leads generally fit rather nicely into the season articles.

Sorry, just because the storm is a current emergency doesn't mean that the article about the storm itself is of top importance. --

I want to try and keep a tally off all the deaths on here so we can place them in the Article and get the figure right instead of having 3 or 4 different numbers floating around the article. If people could help update this as they hear about deaths id be gratefull. Please provide a source though.

I added a quote and citation, with background, about criticism fo the Philippines government's lack of preparation. Is this the appropriate place?

The supposedly "bigger" upcoming typhoon currently 360 km East Northeast of
Catarman, Northern Samar. Anyone care to mention it on this page? Regards.. ≈ Commitcharge
This source might be included into the aftermath section conderning the Philippines. Also I saw elsewhere (Bloomberg?) a statement that the state certainly is forced to import rice, what increases the world food crisis. (Might also correspond to Parma) My English's too bad to include this information, so please any volonteer. ;-) --

As said in that article, the Philippines routinely imports race with or without disasters or with or without food crises. Imported rice sells cheaper than locally harvested rice. –HowardtheDuck15:52, 5 October 2009 (UTC)reply
