SINGAPORE – The Republic of Singapore Air Force will deploy the largest number of aircraft seen in the last five National Day Parades as it pulls out all the stops to celebrate its 55th anniversary.
Fighter jets will execute a sharp combat turn that will subject pilots to up to nine times the force of gravity, as well as a tricky new manoeuvre involving three aircraft crossing paths. For example, the MRTT tanker, which will fly past the heartland for the first time, has boosted the air force’s endurance in fighter operations as it can refuel fighters in mid-air more efficiently, said Col Ang.Making its NDP debut, the A330 multi-role tanker transport will lead a formation of fighter jets in the fly-past over the Padang.

F-15 WSO Dillon Foo, 30, who was part of the team that planned the aerial display, said the manoeuvres are a test of a pilot’s resilience and training. Behind the fighters, a Chinook and a pair of new H225M helicopters will fly above the Padang in a V-shaped formation.
