RSAF FIghter Jet Crashes in Arizona

ShutterBug SG

There, we have it: a fighter jet crashed in Arizona during training.

Thank God, this didn't occur in Singapore while flying over housing estates!

Just when, will authorities wake up about such potential hazards by continually letting their fighter jets fly over housing estates? Do they need a catastrophe to make up their collective minds?

Please wake up. If it can happen in Arizona, it CAN happen in Singapore, and the loss of human lives can be great as well as the reputation of RSAF.

Sorry that's not very possible... the way our air bases are located, our aircraft will have to fly over housing estates one... It's a sad fact of life. Smile As a matter of fact, they even pratice landings on civillian roads!

haha, i knew this would be coming. why not lets close down our airforce...since everyone of our dear pilot talents could be killed...oh no...

welcome to earth man. there are things which have risk what. there's the low risk that a plane might indeed one day crash onto mainland singapore, but the payoffs is that your sons will still be able to sing majulah singapura in school...

I notice the kind of response I get in this forum; are the people in here largely Secondary School students??

If so, I'd like to know where I can find adluts to share opinions with.

Pay particular attention to the following sentences

"The only way for any air force to achieve a zero-accident rate is for it to keep its warplanes grounded."

and

"The decision to build Changi East Airbase and the runway on Pulau Sudong means RSAF pilots have alternative landing strips should emergencies arise."
