After two years since it was handed over to the Aviation Regiment of the Philippine Army, the Short C-23A Sherpa landed as its home.

The Short C-23A Sherpa was handed over to the Philippine Army in April 2022 with registration number RP-C1099 and was donated by Semirara Mining and Power Corporation.

It can carry up to 27 passengers, has a maximum take-off weight of 11 tons, and has a maximum speed of 291 km/hour.

Sherpa Transport Aircraft will further develop the Aviation Regiment's SMC allowing the rapid deployment of troops and equipment to support ground operations.
