As the infrastructure is being dismantled, RSAF pilots use Tengah AB’s narrow taxiways to simulate takeoff and recovery operations on the road.

The RSAF has selected the Lockheed Martin Sniper targeting pod over the Rafael Litening for its F-15SG fleet.

 Royal Saudi Air Force
The Royal Saudi Air Force [RSAF] was established in 1950 during the reign of Abd al Aziz.
In 1972 the first of 114 Northrop F-5s were delivered to the RSAF and, as of 1992, the air force still used three squadrons of later versions of the F-5 in the fighter-ground attack role, one squadron for reconnaissance, and a number of aircraft as advanced jet trainers.
Its mission was to defend the economic installations and the widely scattered population centers of Saudi Arabia against attack and, particularly, to repel air attacks or amphibious assaults against the country's highly vulnerable oil pumping stations, processing and loading facilities, and oil platforms in the Persian Gulf.

 COMMANDO SLING 98-4
RAAF F/A-18s were scheduled to participate with the RSAF in Singapore during a Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA) exercise at approximately the same time as a COMMANDO SLING exercise was to begin with the deployment of six Louisiana Air National Guard F-15s to Singapore.
From that point, it was a relatively simple matter to de-conflict existing schedules and develop a plan to execute an exercise of this magnitude and complexity.
The 100 percent Dissimilar Air Combat Training rate during the exercise was the result of the availability of additional assets provided by the RAAF, and the continued commitment by the RSAF to support such exercises with all available assets.

 The Singapore Skyhawk Story by Mike Yeo
Investigation into the crashes found that the Wright J65 turbojet engines used by the Skyhawks were too old, and the RSAF decided that the time had come for a replacement if the Skyhawks were to be used for any longer.
The RSAF has had long-standing links with the air forces of other nations, and as such the Super Skyhawks have taken part in several exercises with the air forces of nations around the world, both locally and overseas.
Prior to the mid-1980s, the RSAF had no in flight refueling capability, so it was not unusual to see RSAF Skyhawks (both A-4S and A4S-1) during this period having no probes fitted.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) is likely to set its sights on an anti-missile shield as it transforms into a third-generation force.
As such, RSAF air defence planners have 'to see the extent to which we need to take into account the ability to detect and to protect ourselves against systems of this type'.
He added that defenders need to link weapons and sensors together, and have the ability to command these in real-time as split-second decisions need to be made.
