Background:
The F-16 Fighting Falcon was produced by General Dynamics who became Lockheed
who then merged with Martin Marietta to become Lockheed Martin. The F-16
entered service in January 1979 as a multi-role jet fighter that evolved into
an all-weather multi-role aircraft capable of sustaining 9-g turns. The F-16 is
relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain so the U.S. and 25 other
countries added it to their inventory. The Fighting Falcon is referred to by
its pilots as the “Viper” and will remain in USAF service until 2025.
The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) is the aerial service branch of the
Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) responsible for controlling and defending the
airspace of the country, and providing air support to the Army and Navy. It was
established in 1968 as the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) before renaming
to its current name in 1975. As the most powerful air force in Southeast Asia,
the RSAF has undertaken a significant role in Singapore's military defence
strategy since its formation.
The 145 Squadron "Hornet" is a strike fighter squadron of the
Republic of Singapore Air Force based currently at Changi Airbase (East) which
is a new airbase, opened in 2004, to the east of Singapore Changi Airport on
reclaimed land. With the hornet as its mascot, the squadron's motto is
"Swift & Valiant".
