Black Eagles, the air force special squadron, will fly over 4,900km to take part in the Singapore Air Show with T-50B aircraft.

On December 4, DAPA (Defense Acquisition Program Administration) said that the Singapore Air Show, one of three international air shows, would be held from February 11-16, and the Black Eagles would participate in the show to promote exporting Korean aircraft, specifically the T-50. The feature of engagement in this Singapore Air Show is that we fly directly while the T-50 is taken apart, delivered and re-built in the last the U.K. one.

T-50B aircraft will depart from Jeju and arrive at Changi Airport in Singapore, via Indonesia, etc. Korean Air Force will dispatch three C-130 transport planes and 50 support personnel to conduct maintenance and fueling missions at stops.

“This long flight will be a good opportunity to demonstrate the T-50’s cruising ability. Black Eagles will fly once a day during the Air Show and show off its superiority and the Korean Air Force’s to every country,” said a DAPA relevant official.

I doubt that the RMAF MMRCA will be announced in 2014.

If there is an annoucement, most probably after the 2015 LIMA.

I'm also thinking of going down to the RMAF museum at Sungei Besi.

Unfortunately, not much information about public transport to the museum.

Tried to google and only came out that bus U432 does go to the RMAF Sungei Besi.

Anyone here can give more information about taking the bus to the museum.

Thanks.

Ok thanks, looks like quite difficult to go to the RMAF Museum without a car.

Cheers.
