sgdiehard SG

dress smartly and walk in confidently. those at the reception are temp staff, they don't care and can't tell what industry you are from. Have a full meal and bring in a bottle of mineral water (bloody expensive buying inside), and enjoy the show.

* Skyblade II - a mini-class and close-range unmanned aerial vehicle to provide battalion reconnaissance and surveillance of industrial facilities

* Integrated Combat Management System (ICOMS), comprising a Mobile C4I System, and an Integrated Communications System. ICOMs integrate analog and digital data sources through a range of devices offering a flexible and comprehensive system that will enable Forces to fight effectively in a knowledge-based battlefield environment providing commanders with data for planning, collaboration, situation awareness to enable accurate decision-making

* Swimmer Detection Sonar Network (SDSN) - a cost-effective and scalable system designed to counter threats of sabotage and terrorism to enhance harbour and coastal defence

sbst275 SG

When Reeds moves AA to HK, there are chances that military segement will be gone due to the West’s arms embargo to China aft the 6/4 incident

Ponders SG

I don't think this is the first one SQ is going have.

I think this is still the prototype painted just for this event.

Anyway.... hmm you beat me to it posting the pictures. ahah.

I got almost the same ones... but i will still post.

Anyway, from the angle your pictures are taken, it doesn't seem you are in the Aerospace grounds itself. because they retracted the tires quite early.

Ponders SG

Anyway, somemore pics from Aerospace...

minimalis SG

I just learnt that this was production no. 004 so i guess it's the 4th plane. Yeah edited once I got back, whole sequence of em. Pity the plane wasn't present when I went to the static area.

The pictures were taken from the seaside opposite the main gate, not on the grounds itself.

Ponders SG

yah, cn-004. what's the meaning behind F-WWDD you know? The cn-001 and cn-002 is like F-WWOW and F-WXXL. Dunno what WDD gotta do with A380.

Why wasn't it at the static area? It was there till i left about 4+. You need to take a bus to go to the A380.

Anyway, it's kinda funny when the area is so secure with so many guards and everybody wearing passes. yet those ATT C recruits from tekong just casually walked around. haha.

Republic of Singapore Air Force Deploys First International Boeing AH-64D Apache Helicopter in Asia

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20, 2006 -- The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has reassigned three of its AH-64D Apache Longbow multi-role combat helicopters from its training base in the United States to a RSAF facility in Singapore, marking the first-ever deployment of international Apache helicopters in Asia.

One of the Apache Longbows, produced by The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] in Mesa, Ariz. , is on display this week at the 2006 Asian Aerospace exhibition in Singapore.

U.S. Army Apaches have been stationed in Asia over the past decade, but Singapore , which joined the Apache family in 1999, had previously assigned its growing fleet to training duties at a facility in Arizona.Singapore has ordered 20 Apache Longbow helicopters and has logged more than 8,000 accident-free hours in the past three-and-a-half-years while training in Arizona.Singapore received its first eight in 2002 and began receiving the first of the final 12 in January 2006.

The first of the three Apache Longbows sent to Singapore was ceremoniously accepted in Arizona in January before being flown to Singapore by transport aircraft.

"The return marks a significant milestone for the Republic of Singapore Air Force.In the U.S. , they have had very good training value. They were able to practice and train the components, the proficiencies and the competencies. Now we can look at the bigger scheme of things and fit them in with the other pieces to set the stage for a new era for our defense force," said Colonel Tan Wee Ngee, Commander, Sembawang Air Base.

Boeing and the RSAF have been working closely to ensure the program meets or exceeds requirements and will continue to ensure that the RSAF has the resources to maintain and operate its aircraft in Singapore.

"The Singapore Apache program continues to make great strides and achieve significant milestones," said Tommy Filler, Boeing director of International Apache Programs. "Our overall success reflects outstanding teamwork and long-term commitments from everyone involved. And we're equally proud that the Republic of Singapore Air Force is the first of our international customers in Asia to field the Apache."

The Apache Longbow features fully integrated avionics and weapons plus a state-of-the-art modem transmitting real-time, secure digitized battlefield information to air and ground forces. It can rapidly detect, classify, prioritize and engage stationary or moving opposition targets at standoff ranges in nearly all weather environments.
