FIANCEE – Philippine Air Force fighter jet pilot First Lieutenant Alyssa Columbino wrote a heartfelt tribute for her fiancé, Lieutenant April John Dadulla, one of the pilots whop died in crashed FA-50 fighter jet in Bukidnon.
The recent accident that involved two (2) pilots of the Philippine Air Force broke countless hearts. Last Tuesday, the PAF reported that a fighter jet went missing during the Tactical Night Operation exercise in support of the ground troops of the Air Force.
The other aircrafts that participated in the tactical operations repeatedly attempted to re-establish connection with the missing FA-50 fighter jet. However, to no avail, the other aircrafts were able to reach Mactan, Cebu without successfully re-establishing a connection with the missing FA-50.
The aircraft was providing close air support to ground troops who were on a mission against the New People’s Army (NPA) in Barangay Iba, Cabanglasan. Search operations have immediately started to locate the missing fighter jet and its crew.
Unfortunately, the following day, the fighter jet was found in the mountains of Bukidnon province. Near the site where its wreckage was found were the bodies of two (2) pilots. Lieutenant April John Dadulla, one of the two (2) pilots who died in the FA-50 fighter jet crash, is set to get married to his fiancé this March.
Lieutenant April John Dadulla is engaged to his fellow fighter jet pilot, First Lieutenant Alyssa Columbino. Their wedding is scheduled on March 15 – 11 days away from the day when the accident that took his life happened.
Through a post on social media, the fiancée of the pilot of the crashed FA-50 fighter jet paid tribute to him. She posted their sweet photos together along with a heartfelt caption.
“I am so proud of you, my love. You will always be in my heart. I love you and til we meet again, love,” Alyssa wrote.
