Viper52 SG Theres a partial and hazy photo of the new WSAC on May's issue of Air Forces Monthly, if anyone is interested. Photographer's identity withheld, naturally.
Jazzswing SG Where to suscribe magazines such as AFM and Jane's? I've always wondered. Can't buy from bookstores all the time, and not all selling that too.
Viper52 SG They would almost always have subscription forms on the insides of the magazines, failing that, can try at their sites online or wait for the next AA.
Viper52 SG Heres a photo of WSSS taken from the air on airliners.net, with a partial layout shown of WSAC in the photo. Dated early May. (PS. Photo is not mine, credit is given in the linked URL below) http://www.airliners.net/open.file/576605/L/
Zooish SG CAB won’t close down. Will now exist as 2 seperate wings, East (new runway) and West (existing base + extended old Changi Camp).
kanzer SG in economic sense….this may not be an ideal arrangement…. it is better or it seems to move the old CAB to the new CAB…..free up the land for Changi airport expansion….who knows…maybe can build a budget airline terminal at the old CAB
Fairyland SG Another option is to squeeze other formations into the space at the old Changi AB. The airbases here have plenty of space to house more army camps. Maybe you can stand down the FDS in the process and re-deploy them to other combat units. These camps (Eg the guards unit in Upper East Coast Rd) freed up can also be re-developed. Not to mention there must be some fixed cost savings for the SAF too.
Fairyland SG Somehow the PDS and control tower not in the picture...... Even the PDS loop in the old CAB is not clear too.
cavsg SG they maybe control by changi tower. there will be alot of coordination if there are 2 towers located so close.
Viper52 SG No...theres definitely a tower on Changi East just out of the picture, one could see the tower if one got on board the bridge of Endurance-class LSTs at the recent Open House.
Zooish SG Changi East Runway is fully-functional on its own & a fighter sqn is moving in. I’m surprised that the aeriel photo hasn’t been removed by msd. Layout of air bases is classified info.
tripwire SG arghhh.... if our enemy wanna snap foto of our CAB... just buy a window seat ticket from any airline... and just snap. this is a problem when you build an AFB next to an international airport.
eurofighter SG Not to mention satellites too. Malaysia have lauched and have plans to launch environmental observation satellites which may double as spy satellitess.
