Joyeux vingt-cinquième anniversaire to 150 SQN!
The RSAF has been training in Cazaux Air Base, France for the last 25 years where the large airspace allows us to conduct realistic training. This was made possible with the strong support from the French Air and Space Force (FASF).
In these 25 years, the RSAF has progressed greatly in terms of training pedagogies. From the jet trainers such as the S-211 and the A-4SU, to the current M-346 advanced jet trainer and training simulators, these had allowed the RSAF to continuously develop highly competent aircrew to defend Singapore’s skies.
The celebration was officiated by Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen and hosted by Chief of Air Force, MG Kelvin Khong.
