Changi Air Base East was officially inaugurated by Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean, this afternoon. The 145 Squadron which will be based there, oprates the F-16D Block 52+ jets. These Vipers are state-of-the-art, and so is the airbase they operate from.
The RSAF has taken delivery of the first of 30 Block 52 F-16CJ/DJs ordered from LMTAS. In a ceremony at Fort Worth, Chief of Singapore Defense Forces Lt. Gen. Bey Soo Khiang, formally accepted an F-16D with serial #94-0274.
Lockheed Martin has won a undisclosed value contract from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) for the Sniper® Advanced Targeting Pods (ATP) for the F-16 Block 52 aircraft.
