Been a few years since I've visited (about 20), and had some time today, so visited the Republic of Singapore Air Force Museum at Paya Lebar. Some pretty neat displays and with F15s & F16s flying overhead, shows that the Singaporeans sure have keep up with the times and now have a very modern & capable military.
Of interest my guide enlisted in 1972 and recalled the RNZAF 41 Sqn Bristol Freighters & Iroquois and at one stage his boss was Flt Lt Joe Keegan RNZAF who was an Engineering Officer on exchange on A4s back in the 1970s.
Believe Graham Lintott served on Hueys at the SUS (Support Unit Singapore) in the early 1980s
That's Stu White ( of RNZAF A-4 & KAHU fame) on the LH Hori Stab.
Singaporean A4S version of the A4C - Lockheed Conversion ( Some Brit avionics including the Hunter 30mm Aden canon)
Singaporean Hunter wired for Sidewinder and various American Avionics
Blunty
Kinda unique A4 Super Skyhawk with GE F404
Quite a bit on the modern RSAF
Lots on the Black Knights Aerobatic Team - once flew Hunters, then A4s, and now F16s

Bit of military action here this morning - Qty 6 F-15S coming on thru downtown here - about 1500 ft, nice and noisy - also a Chinook & a couple of Apaches coming on by...nice to see . Helicopters just by the Marina Sands 'ship'. Cheers Hvd1041
