Roberto González Cruz (May 22, 1946 – April 6, 1986) was a Mexican professional wrestler who wrestled under the name El Solitario.[1] During his career he held both the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Middleweight Championship. After achieving stardom in Mexico's oldest promotion, Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre, Cruz joined the breakaway promotion, the Universal Wrestling Association, where he held four more world championships in the early 1980s.
Early life[edit]
Cruz came from a working-class family and was the youngest of seven children. At the age of twelve, his older brother Jesús, who was also a professional wrestler, began teaching him basic wrestling moves. In 1959, Cruz's brother was killed in the ring while wrestling as Othon Banzica, but rather than becoming deterred, Cruz drew inspiration from his death and dedicated himself to lucha libre. He began training under the tutelage of Joe el Hermoso and made his wrestling debut in 1960 at the age of fourteen.
Professional wrestling career[edit]
Cruz was initially billed as being the son of the legendary wrestler El Santo but later changed his name to El Zica II in honor of his deceased brother.
Cruz moved to Tijuana to pursue his career as a luchador but had a difficult time finding regular work as he was young and still small at the time. He continued working local arenas until he began making a name for himself as he grew physically and refined his wrestling skills. Cruz realized that in order to take his career to the next level, he would have to select a more crowd pleasing name and character. He chose the name El Solitario, derived from the popular comic book character El Llanero Solitario ("The Lone Ranger"'). He also adopted his now trademark gold and black colored costume and golden mask with a fringe around the eyes representing the Lone Ranger's mask. After the change, promoters and fans took notice of the new dynamic wrestler.
On November 16, 1965, El Solitario faced Panchito Ramirez in Arena Coliseo located in Guadalajara. He would make his debut in Arena Coliseo Mexico City on September 6, 1966, when he defeated Tony Reyna. In 1966, El Solitario defeated and unmasked Águila Tapatía, that was followed by a win over Mano Blanca. He won his first world title when he defeated Occident Welterweight champion Luís González.
El Solitario was now working for EMLL, Mexico's largest promotion company. He was catapulted into stardom within the lucha libre world when he defeated veteran Rey Mendoza in a mask vs hair match on December 13, 1968. A few weeks later, he defeated another legend, Rene Guajardo, and also took his hair in another wager match.
El Solitario formed a wrestling trio alongside Dr. Wagner and Angel Blanco; the group was known as "La Ola Blanca" (The White Wave). He was wrestling as a rudo at this time but when his partners Dr. Wagner and Angel Blanco turned on him, he became one of the most popular tecnicos of his era. It also started a legendary rivalry between himself, Wagner and Blanco. He continued wrestling as an individual during this time, and in 1969, won the NWA Middleweight world title by defeating El Rayo de Jalisco. In 1970, El Solitario won the NWA Light Heavyweight title by defeating Ray Mendoza. In 1972, he unmasked his rival, Angel Blanco, in the ring.
El Solitario was one of the first stars to leave EMLL to join the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) promotion, which was run by Francisco Flores and Ray Mendoza. He won the UWA's first Junior Heavyweight title in 1982. He also toured Japan in 1972, 1979, and 1981, where he would face and team up with premiere stars such as Tiger Mask and Tatsumi Fujinami, along with other Mexican wrestlers such as Chavo Guerrero and El Canek. He was unable to fully exhibit his wrestling skills during his tours, as the junior's division formula in Japan consisted of popular Japanese wrestlers facing off against foreign heels. However, he gained a following outside of Mexico as a result of those tours.
While in Mexico, he remained one of the most popular headlining stars throughout the country. In the early 1980s, he formed a short lived trios team with Anibal and Villano III, the group was known as Los Tres Caballeros. He won the NWA Junior Light Heavyweight title in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, he won the NWA Light Heavyweight title. That same year, he participated in El Santo's final career match when he teamed up with legends El Santo, Gory Guerrero, and Huracan Ramirez to defeat El Signo, Negro Navarro, El Texano, and Perro Aguayo.[2] Perhaps his biggest match took place on December 1, 1985, when he defeated and unmasked Dr. Wagner in a mask vs mask match.
El Solitario had suffered injuries during the latter part of his career, resulting in several infections and illnesses. During a match with Fishman, he re-injured himself and was taken to the hospital while complaining of abdominal pain. His doctors initially misdiagnosed his condition, and it was later discovered that he was suffering from internal bleeding that required immediate surgery. On April 6, 1986, at the age of 39, El Solitario died while on the operating table as a result of a cardiac arrest.[3]
Although El Solitario's life was fairly short, his professional career spanned over twenty-five years and he is regarded as one of the greatest Mexican professional wrestlers of all time.[4] He was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996.
His son, El Hijo del Solitario, made his wrestling debut in 1990.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The last person executed in Rhode Island was John Gordon, a 19th century Irish immigrant. He was hanged in Providence for a crime he almost surely did not commit. And therein lies quite a tale, one told in a new play that opened last weekend at the Park Theatre in Cranston. Bill Gale took a look.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University men's soccer team released updates to its 2014 spring schedule on Tuesday. The Blue & Gray will play four more games this spring. Georgetown defeated Temple University, 3-0, in the first game of 2014.
The Hoyas will make the short trip to College Park, Md., to take on the University of Maryland Terrapins on Thursday, April 3 at 8:15 p.m. The Terps were the 2013 national runners up and a late addition to the spring slate.
Wake Forest University will come to Shaw Field on April 5 for a 1 p.m., kickoff. The Demon Deacons were NCAA qualifiers a season ago.
The contest originally scheduled for last weekend at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County will now be played on Tuesday, April 8 in Baltimore at 8:30 p.m. The game was originally moved due to inclement weather. The Retrievers also earned an NCAA Tournament berth a season ago.
Georgetown will finish out the spring at the University of Delaware on April 13 at 1 p.m. The Blue Hens complete GU's tough spring slate with four NCAA Tournament qualifiers remaining.
The Hoyas finished the season 14-5-2 on the season winning a share of the BIG EAST Regular Season Championship for the third time in four years. Georgetown went to the BIG EAST Championship Semifinal at PPL Park where the Hoyas tied fourth-seeded Providence in double overtime, 0-0, but failed to advance in penalty kicks. Along the way, the Hoyas had impressive milestones including setting the new program record for season shutouts with 14. The squad advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

They can point to an offensive line that broke down in the second half, to an offense that went 2 for 13 on third-down attempts, to a touchdown that Marqise Lee dropped before he left with a knee injury.
They can even, perhaps, blame play calling. Tied 7-7 in the second quarter, USC called a "Wildcat" play for tailback Javorius Allen on third and goal at the Notre Dame 3. Allen, who hadn't run such a play all season, lost a yard, and the Trojans settled for three points instead of seven.
Then, trailing 14-10 with 9:25 left in the fourth quarter, and facing fourth and 5 at the Notre Dame 28, USC opted for a 46-yard field goal that Andre Heidari missed badly. He earlier missed from 40 yards.
Tailback Justin Davis left the locker room on crutches, his right foot in a boot. Safety Dion Bailey had his left arm in a sling. Kessler, Rogers and tight ends Xavier Grimble and Randall Telfer all limped toward the team bus with seemingly minor injuries.
Lee, who missed last week's game against Arizona with a knee sprain, started against Notre Dame but didn't play in the second half. Lee said he "re-tweaked" the knee but, after the game, he walked without a noticeable limp. He said interim Coach Ed Orgeron held him out for precautionary reasons.
"I could have played," Lee said. "I told him I was (able to play), and he refused."

Aerosmith's drummer, Joey Kramer, has launched his very own line of organic coffee. Called Rockin' & Roastin', the coffee is fair trade and created specifically for Kramer's java preferences.
"There are at least 15 junctures in the process which are major," the website reads. "That's why our roast classifications are a bit more involved than the typical Medium or Dark... Rockin' & Roastin's roast categorizations were developed through the experience of roasting and learning more about the chemistry of those various junctures."
Rockin' & Roastin' currently has four roasts available: Ethiopia Yirgachaffe (dark), Ethiopia Yirgachaffe Decaf (medium-dark), Guatemala Huehuetenango (dark-medium) and Sumatra Permata Gavo (dark).

Jack Poole
John W. "Jack" Poole, OC, OBC (April 14, 1933, Mortlach, Saskatchewan[1] – October 23, 2009, Vancouver, British Columbia) was a Canadian businessman who, as the head of the VANOC bid committee, was responsible for bringing the 2010 Winter Olympics to Canada.[2]
He died of pancreatic cancer shortly after midnight on October 23, 2009, hours after the Olympic Flame was lit at the beginning of the 2010 Winter Olympics torch relay, in Olympia, Greece [3][4]
Poole was made a member of the Order of British Columbia in 2003[5] and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2006.[6]
Professional history[edit]
Poole graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1954,[7] with a degree in civil engineering. He subsequently entered the field of real estate development (in which position he hired B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, then a teenager, as a laborer; Poole later joked that he had given Campbell "his first job", and that by choosing Poole to chair VANOC, Campbell "gave me my last").[8] Poole co-founded Daon Development Corporation, the second-largest real estate development company in North America until its collapse in 1982.[1]
Poole was born the son of John Poole, a grain dealer.[1] He is survived by his second wife Darlene, four daughters, a stepson and his extended family. One of his grandsons, Blake Hawksworth, is a Major League Baseball pitcher. His granddaughter Erin Hawksworth is a reporter.[9]
To honour his work and achievement for the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics, the former Thurlow Plaza[10] was renamed Jack Poole Plaza[11] in his memory. The external cauldron for the games was chosen to be built at the Jack Poole Plaza as well.

QUOTE (edbuffaloe @ Jan 31 2003, 11:07 AM)

I think it is always useful to have hard data rather than someone's subjective impression. I love the look of platinum/palladium, and there are certain subjects for which it is the perfect medium. The same is true for Azo.
In regard to the D-max of platinum, there was a recent post on the Bostick & Sullivan forum regarding Mars All-Purpose Translucent Vellum paper. It is said to have excellent wet strength and to give significantly better blacks than other papers. There was speculation that the deep blacks are due to its translucent nature, which allows light to penetrate into the depths of the paper.

I was the one who started the Mars Vellum discussion on the B&S board. After many years of printing platinum I found a paper that happens to produce a startling black. Doesn't mean it's better or worse than the many other papers I use, just different. What's even more exciting about this paper for me are it's ultra-smooth tones, excellent resolution of fine details, and fantastic tonal separation. I don't own a densitometer, so I can't tell you what the reflection density is, but my guess is that it approaches or surpasses the DMax of matt silver gelatin papers. My opinion is that this super deep black comes from a combination of factors: the transluscency of the material, the ultra smooth surface, and the fact that the sensitizer seems to sit way up on top of the paper rather than being absorbed deeper into the fibers that typically happens with more "normal" papers used for platinum.
I agree in general with Jorge that the sensitometric comparison of AZO and platinum is little more than interesting trivia. What is more important to me is how the medium conveys the image and intent of the photographer. I've done lots of printing on AZO with Amidol and Ansco 130 (I still have a few boxes of 14x17 doubleweight AZO in my darkroom). I've also done and continue to do a lot of printing with Centennial POP. My main medium for the last 10+ years has been platinum/palladium. In the last couple of years I've also been adding layers of gum bichromate over platinum for the unique look that those combined processes provide. Through all this printing I have purposely avoided the use of a densitometer because, *for me* that type of analysis is simply a distraction to my main intent which is making really beautiful prints. All of these materials are capable of wonderful results when coupled with the right image and a well-made negative. My preference is for very warm tones and lots of color, so I am much more attracted to platinum, gum over platinum and POP than AZO. Nothing makes me yawn faster than a neutral gray print.
Regarding the question of increasing the surface reflectivity of a platinum print. Strand did it and it is still common practice. I've used wax and acrylic gloss medium to achieve this effect. I've also read of people using Future Floor polish for the same purpose(! For some papers these treatments make a dramatic change in the appearance of the blacks. As far as getting the sensitizer to stick to a glossier surface, that is a much more difficult problem.

"We hope that when these Rotarians come spend these few days in Long Beach, they'll go home and say that was a 'wow' trip, and I believe our city is a wow city," she said.
Jacobus said it feels good to have so much attention on the sister city during the Olympics, which has its opening ceremony Friday, but she also encourages safety as the most important thing.
"We want to be able to watch this and know that the Olympians and attendees are safe," she said. "We hope that this is a glorious Olympics, and it will go down in history as another successful Olympics."
Manta, Ecudador
Manta, Ecuador, was added as a Long Beach sister city in 2000 when former Long Beach Mayor Beverly O'Neill and former Manta Mayor Jorge Zambrano signed an agreement to start the sisterhood.
Paul Dunning, president of Long Beach – Manta Sister Cities, said the relationship formed to "create a formal diplomatic channel to provide humanitarian aid."
One of the group's biggest accomplishments, Dunning said, is its ability to solicit donations that support saving lives in Ecuador through a program called Project Ecuador. Since 2006, the group has raised more than $30,000 for that cause.
The association won a sustainable development award in 2011 for Project Ecuador.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The relationship between Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Long Beach began in October 1993 after government and community leaders met with their counterparts at Phnom Penh City Hall to discuss potential benefits to both cities.
Ultimately, Long Beach was chosen as a sister city because of its large Cambodian population, said Monorom Neth, president of the Cambodian Coordinating Council.
The group aims to promote beneficial cooperation between the two cities, promote international goodwill, encourage activities between the two cities and preserve ancient fine arts and cultural traditions.
Since its start, it has hosted several delegation visitations to Phnom Penh, including when it presented "The Cambodian History in Long Beach" to H.E Nguon Nhel, first vice president of the National Assembly of Cambodia, in 2008.
The group also has helped organize and participated in the annual Cambodian New Year Parade and the Cambodian New Year Celebration at El Dorado Park.

Personality Traits that Nursing Faculty Believe are Necessary for Their Graduates
Bush, Kristine L.
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate personality traits that faculty members of different registered nursing education programs believe are necessary for their graduates. Procedure: One hundred twenty three nursing faculty members of diploma, associate degree, and baccalaureate nursing education programs in the state of Iowa ranked 20 personality traits by completing the Desirability of Personality Traits of Registered Nurses Questionnaire. The subjects also completed a demographic data questionnaire designed by the researcher. Findings: All faculty members ranked understanding as number one, abasement number 19, and aggression number 20. Significant differences existed between baccalaureate faculty members who ranked change higher than associate degree faculty members, associate degree faculty members who ranked cognitive structure and order higher than baccalaureate faculty members, and diploma faculty members who ranked endurance higher than baccalaureate faculty members, Significant differences also existed for change when faculty members were categorized by age groupings; for cognitive structure and impulsivity when faculty members were categorized by highest level of nursing education; and for endurance, harmavoidance, nurturance, order, and aggression when faculty members were categorized by part-time or full-time status. Conclusions. Faculty members of the three types of nursing education programs rank the importance of personality traits differently for their graduates. Recommendations: Examples of recommendation for further research include: a replication of this study including male subjects and an investigation correlating how students rank the personality traits as compared to how faculty members rank them.

Forever 81
Please don't rain on our parade
Dr. Joven Cuanang and I are pleased to report that the wheelchair project that we embarked on has gained ground. Out of the target of 17 to 20 embellished wheelchairs, we have received sponsorships, partial and full, for 11. Names will be released when Doc is back from his, ehem! Paris jaunt.
Among the nine artists who were tapped, wholeheartedly and generously agreed to join, submitted their required wheelchair sketches and accepted their measly grants, are Gerry Leonardo, Marc Cosico and two teams of Makiling High School for the Arts students; Don Salubayba; Aba Dalena, Wendy Regalado and Io Regalado.
Grants for and submission of planned designs by Nona Garcia, Lyn Quisumbing, Kawayan de Guia, Leeroy New and Robert Alejandro are forthcoming. Wheelchairs for other artists are still being discussed, more importantly whether we can raise enough funds for them without killing ourselves.
The venue for the much-awaited Wheelchair Parade will be Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global Village, Makati. Location to be pinpointed at a later time. It is open to all. So please come and watch our spectacle! Date is Apolinario Mabini's birthday on July 20, 2013, 3 p.m. Bring umbrella if cloudy and send eggs to Sta. Clara Monastery.
Enjoy these early drawings and just hope the chairs end up looking like them!
Errata for last week
My piece last Sunday, April 7, had this mistake which I found important to rectify lest I be perceived impossibly backward. Fifth paragraph in the issue says "Conditioners and escalators, and in the house, rice cookers 'remotes' etc" should read "Air-conditioners and escalators etc."
Then in the next paragraph "Cell phones became an indispensable lifeline, never away from one's body. Available 24/7, it has destroyed sleeping patterns of both the working and the idle."
A vital line was missing between those two sentences. Because obviously, cell phones do not destroy sleeping habits even when on 24/7. The missing line is: But nothing has quite captured younger people as much as the Internet. Available 12/7 etc." But of course, it is the Internet that has ruined the sleeping patterns of younger people, not the benign cell phone!

Talking dollars and sense with your children
As a public service to residents, the Financial Planning Association of San Diego is answering financial questions for readers of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Today's question – on how to talk to your children about money – is answered by John Peelle, CFP with Peelle Financial and Insurance Services in San Diego.
Q: The recent financial crisis has been very difficult for our family. We have had to cut back significantly on our lifestyle. It seems that it may be many years until we are back to where we were financially just a few years ago. Our main concern is for our two young daughters, 7 and 10. How can we begin to teach them about money so that they don't fall into the same financial traps we did?
A: First, let me say that you are wise to be thinking about this now, while your girls are still young. Interestingly, the subject of how to handle money is something that many parents put off discussing with their children — often because their parents weren't forthcoming about money, so it's not a subject they are necessarily comfortable bringing up with their children. If you avoid discussing money management with your children, they will likely pick up lessons on how to handle money from the least-appealing sources: the media, advertisers or friends, all of whom often make compelling pitches to young minds to overspend.
Molding behavior
Fortunately, there are a number of ways that parents can teach their children to be thoughtful, deliberate and generous with the money that they earn or are given. A good place to start is with an allowance. The purpose of the allowance is to give your children practice at making decisions on how to handle money. When you first start giving an allowance, it's a good idea to use that occasion to offer guidance about what are acceptable ways to use the funds. This is a good time to introduce "short-" and "long-" term goal setting.
We want to teach children to do four things with their allowance: spend, save, invest and donate. One way parents can reinforce these options is by giving their kids a piggy bank with four slots, one for each of the choices. The purpose is to help children think about their money options, rather than just rush out and spend as quickly as possible. This can help teach and reinforce the notion of delayed gratification.
Creating financial goals
As your children get older, it's a good idea to incorporate financial goals into their savings efforts. It not only makes money management more fun, but it encourages kids to carefully consider the consequences of spending money.
For instance, if you want your children to learn that it's important to give back to the community, you may consider taking it even further and encouraging your kids to not only make donations, but also volunteer their time at some of the charities the family supports financially.
Setting a good example
While communication is critical when teaching children good spending and saving habits, parents should keep in mind that their own actions are equally important. Accordingly, parents should share their own financial values and goals with their children.

Tight Deadline for Innsbruck 2012 YOG Project
(Getty Images)
(ATR) The head of Innsbruck 2012 YOG organizers tells
Around the Rings
he is satisfied with the fast-track timetable for completion of the athletes' village, the biggest challenge in Games preparations.
"I'm very happy we can start construction of the YOG village. That was something which was still one of the concerns of our partners. So we know we are perfectly on time," said Peter Bayer, CEO of the Innsbruck YOG organizing committee.
Plans for the $121 million village with 2,000-plus beds have come under intense scrutiny since the Austrian city was awarded the Games last December. The IOC had initially cited it as a major issue. But building work began Thursday, alleviating concerns over the timeline for completion – at least for the time being.
The project's completion date comes just a few months before the start of the first ever winter YOG, staged from Jan. 13-23 in 2012; interior fit-out of the village is earmarked to take place from October to December in 2011.
The village, located 10 minutes from the city center of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games host, is funded by the State of Tyrol and the city. Post-YOG, it will be converted into residential housing.
Bayer told
that "everything was running well and smoothly" in preparations for the Games.
His team is currently finalizing the YOG marketing plan and digital media communications plan with the IOC. A new logo for Innsbruck 2012 was sent to the IOC for approval this week. Bayer hopes to launch the YOG emblem in conjunction with the Austrian Olympic Committee at Austria House during the Vancouver Games.
Last week, Bayer updated the European Olympic Committees general assembly on the YOG 2012 project. Bayer was appointed chief executive in September, replacing Martin Schnitzer who was forced to quit in the summer over

a financial scandal linked to Innsbruck's role in the UEFA Euro 2008 football championships.
Innsbruck's early YOG preparations were hit in the first half of the year by a series of financial scandals involving the Austrian Olympic Committee that ultimately led to the resignation of AOC president Leo Wallner. He had run the organization for 19 years. Karl Stoss succeeded Wallner as president of the AOC in October.
"All the scandals about the AOC ... it was not easy for us," Bayer said. He said he was reassured about the AOC's support for the Youth Olympics following a recent meeting with Stoss.
"We are sharing the vision for the YOG, which was great to hear. We will continue to cooperate and put things on a new level," he added.
Milestones ahead for YOG 2012 organizers include: finalizing the masterplan for venues in the two major zones in Innsbruck and Seefeld; finishing the post-bid budget; mapping out the culture and education strategy; and confirmation of qualification and competition formats.
After its October inspection, the IOC Coordination Commission for Innsbruck will next visit the city for a check-up in June.
More than 1,000 athletes aged 14-18 years will participate in the inaugural Winter YOG. The seven sports on the program mirror those of the Vancouver Olympics, but there will be a limited number of disciplines and events.

Its clear that by the 1950s the direct total individual mind control envisioned by the occult, and started by nazi intelligence was continued (and continues to his day) by CIA, MI5, and others. Mass mind control is handled by the same, but needs a corespondingly larger group to function effectively. If you're interested you shoul research Tavistock.

Hi, we need some information about direct i/o.
We have one 9000/800/SD16A running HP-UX B.11.11 connected to one storage EMC DMX4 with 2 HBAs. The LUN paths was tested and all 4 path for a single LUN are working with load balance, that we can view with "powermt watch"
We have some issues with Oracle performance and we changed some attributes for some filesystems with oracle datafiles and here some tests:
Options - rw,delaylog,largefiles 0 2
# time prealloc tempfile 524288000;rm tempfile
real 8.9
user 0.0
sys 3.0
For Oracle cookbook performance is recommended to do direct i/o and then:
Options - rw,delaylog,largefiles,mincache=direct,convosync=d
# time prealloc tempfile 524288000;rm tempfile
real 1:14.3
user 0.0
sys 11.6
What is causing this huge diference timing? Can anyone help?

If you are tuning a filesystem for maximum Oracle performance, you should measure it with an Oracle-level benchmark, not with an OS-level benchmark.
The options "mincache=direct,convosync=direct" are effectively disabling OS-level caching for the filesystem for most operations. It makes sense, because Oracle already has its own set of caches - and because Oracle "knows what it is doing", its cache can support Oracle-level operations more efficiently than the standard OS-level cache. But when you disable OS-level caching, any operations done by generic programs to that particular filesystem can of course be significantly slower.

AFP air upgrade hits snag: 'Lo-bat'
One of the eight newly acquired W-3 Sokol helicopters that was to have flown Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin to the 66th anniversary celebrations of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) at Clark Air Base in Pampanga on Monday has remained grounded at Camp Aguinaldo, hobbled by a weak battery.
"It is undergoing maintenance in place," said Col. Miguel Ernesto Okol, the PAF spokesman.
"Its primary mission last July 1 was to ferry and pick up the secretary of national defense and party. There were two," he said, adding that military helicopters often fly tandem.
Gazmin and his party were able to take off for Clark after another Sokol was dispatched to Camp Aguinaldo when the pilots of the first helicopter detected the systems problem.
The W-3 Sokol is a medium-size, twin-engine and multipurpose model made by Polish helicopter manufacturer PZL-Swidnik.
"This is a minor discrepancy in the aircraft. In this case, the battery was weak. There are some electrical discrepancies but these are not showstoppers," Okol said.
He said the PAF expected the Sokol to fly again "in a few days and proceed back to its station and it will perform its operations."
Grounding the Sokol, with Tail No. 310925, is a "precautionary measure" until the technical representatives of PZL-Swidnik arrive, he said.
Since the aircraft is still under warranty, the PAF has coordinated with PZL-Swidnik to "troubleshoot" the aircraft with the local Air Force maintenance crew.
"There's really no cause for alarm," Okol said.
The new helicopters have been performing search-and-rescue operations although they have yet to be painted white with bright yellow markings because they are still under warranty and thus cannot yet be altered, he said.
Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said he was told that a test flight was done on the Sokol.
"It took off but apparently it was a systems problem that they detected. I was informed that the Air Force didn't want to bring it back to Villamor Air Base even if it could fly because what was paramount was the safety of the crew and its passengers," Zagala told reporters at Camp Aguinaldo.
The eight Sokol helicopters were purchased by the Department of Defense for P2.8 billion under the government's upgrade program for the military.
In his address at the PAF anniversary celebrations, President Aquino blasted previous administrations for neglecting the military and vowed to spend P75 billion to modernize its defense capability in five years.
"While we look back at the rich history of the Philippine Air Force, there is one thing that is noticeable: While we, in 1963, had the capability to help and send squadrons to other nations, why is it that in the last decades, it seemed that the wings of our Air Force had been clipped, and we rely only on old, rickety planes and equipment?" Aquino said.
No, he hasn't been told about the grounded new chopper.
