RSAF puts on thrilling show at NDP 2023, as President Halimah reviews guard of honour
SINGAPORE - All eyes were on the skies for a display of precise choreography and thrilling aerobatic manoeuvres by the Republic of Singapore Air Force at the National Day Parade.or RSAF55, this year.
While everyone sang the National Anthem, a CH-47SD Chinook helicopter carried the state flag over the field, escorted by two AH-64D Apache attack helicopters. The star of the formation was the RSAF’s largest aircraft, the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport , which led the aircraft formation. The MRTT flew above the Padang, accompanied by four F-16D+ fighter aircraft – two at each wing.
The crowd’s anticipation stepped up a notch as a pair of F-15SG fighter aircraft then appeared in the sky to perform a dual high-G turn.Many spectators craned their necks as the aircrew of both fighter aircraft executed a sharp combat turn in synchrony. They had to withstand a high gravitational force of up to nine times the force of gravity to execute this manoeuvre.
Meanwhile, an F-15SG aircraft came in the opposite direction, flying towards the intersection of the F-16D+ flight paths. After crossing the intersection point, it pulled upwards in a vertical climb.
