Im always one of those spectators that feel that "WOW They are so cool doing all sorts of formations in the sky" But Ive never really put a serious thought on how much training the pilots have to go through to be able to showcase that kind of complicated formation to the crowd. Great job:)
It’s misleading to call this squadron “Top Gun”. The US Navy Fighter Weapons School (THE REAL TOPGUN) trains their fighters for air combat and defensive combat maneuvers, also known as Dogfighting. Not air shows. I’m sorry if it disappoints you but that’s the truth.
These are the best we have. Hopefully we can transit to have the entire armed forces fully professional. I also believe in a national militia for volunteer training for times of crisis. We should consider all ideas that we can propose to better optimise
my name is Amir quite a sizeable. Singapore has almost 200 aircraft and no air force keeps just 1:1 pilots. We also have former pilots who are liable for call-up in emergencies.
they either come up with the call-sign themselves or they'll be given a call-sign. but of course, making your own call-sign, you have to pay a certain amount of money. that's what i heard from my uncle and friends who were in the RSAF
Spoofy Tofuwu If you want to be a Fighter Pilot in the airforce you have to sign up as a regular and sign a 10 YEAR BOND with the RSAF, during your time as an NSF, representatives from the RSAF will come to visit you for a recruitment talk and explain how it all works, they will hand out forms you so you can indicate your interests to sign up. If you indicate your interest to join, a few days/weeks later you will have to take the COMPASS test ( I can't tell you what it is ) to see if you are eligible to join. Then later when you are close to ORD they will call you up and ask if you want to join the airforce ( If you passed the COMPASS test ), you either reply yes or no to them, I don't know what happens next.
faisal hayat the real training isn’t seen. It’s classified do you think that it will be shown on the net? It’s one of the most lethal airforce in asean and rank amongst the TOP in quality against world big players. Singapore joins in the international war games yearly and have exchanges with UK, USA, Australia etc and have always came out as the winner against them who developed the jets. The war games are much more tougher than what would truly happen in war and dogfights those are scenarios termed to never exist.
Most fighter pilot would have stop flying in their late or mid 30s ! They will convert to fly civilian aeroplane as 2nd career....like elite sports man....you can only take so much lasted so long ! In a fighter ...pulling 9 Gs...means supporting 9 times your body weight !
there are malay pilots now , for fighters there are only malay f16 pilots but for cargo aircraft and helicopters , that one tak sure ah bro. SG got alot of screening for high risk vocations and alot of requirements that one has to achieve to be able to qualify for high risk vocation like commandos , that's why Commandos not alot of malay
Chinese percentage is more than Malay so what do you expect. Even so there are Malays as RSAF fighter pilot but definitely no as many as Chinese. Only the best out of the best is selected.
NOPE!! They have to be healthy, the G tolerance CAN be trained.. Typical average people can deal with 2Gs without much of an issue and usually able to deal with short burst of 4-5Gs with little training [or none].
@@theboomguy441 there probably are indians cuz we already know that there is a malay f16 pilot a while back. i think not alot of indians and malay mainly cuz we don't pass the background screening or requirements to qualify for high risk vocations in SAF

Lt Yusri bin Abu Bakar from the 140 Sqn sits in the cockpit of a F16 figher jet during the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Open House air force pilot was Lt Mohamad Zakir Hamid in 1992, and he used to fly transport planes. According to a Ministry of Defence spokesman, he is now a major and a flying instructor at the air force’s Flying Training School in Pearce, Western Australia.
@@user-ul3rm6sv1z OMG thats like more then 20 years ago, Way before 911 kicks in and then everyone got paranoid. Not just in the RSAF though even in some other sensitive vocation you hardly see any malay around.

@@muhammadsaiful8451 Not really true. To say that Cln. Zakir and Lt. Yusri got in theough "pure luck" is just plain wrong. Those guys were very determined and smart. Im a malay and i think that one of the reasons mamy of us dont enter the RSAF is because of our underperformance in terms of academics, especiallt mathematics which is extremely important in the skillset of a fighter pilot (It is improving though). Being a fighter pilot isnt easy, one should be academically inclined, fit, have passion and have the proper aptitude of a fighter pilot.
to say that RSAF is racist is abit harsh lah bro , there are malay pilots in RSAF , a while back , a malay f16 fighter pilot was revealed and there even malay pilots in RSAF that are now trainers. Its not exactly racist of SAF , its just that we don't meet their requirements and pass background screening. Especially for High risk vocations like fighter pilots in RSAF or Commandos in Army. there are malays , indians too. these vocations cost govt. alot of money so they sre very cautious and strict with choosing who can join. if u meet their requirements and pass screening ; then congrats u qualify for the high risk vocations.
Lol try google Chinese fighter pilot in Malaysia and click on images!!! its unicorn...if the other side don't allow Chinese to fly their fighter jets same applies here!!!
Why do Malays always pull the race card? No offense but if we Chinese have mendaki, we would not have to bust our asses working part time while going to poly at the same time.
why do chinese always pull the mendaki card? no offense but if we malay have true equality in singapore, there wouldnt be lack of diversity in RSAF, SAF ( armour, combat e, army intel basically every vocation except guards and infantry) finish up your poly, serve NS and look. dont stay ignorant secondly, what does busting your ass and mendaki have to do with each other. your part time job is obviously due to a cut in your allowance. mendaki provide subsidies for school fees not allowance. unless of course u work part time to pay for your school fees and support yourself indefinitely then i suggest seeking help or getting a scholarship.
There is Malay engineers and pilots. CPT Muhammad Iskandar is one good example. He got a degree at University of Cambridge, now getting masters at University of Oxford. He even studied middle eastern secruity studies, religious study at university of Jerusalem. Goes to show there is ignorant people who can't look beyond race
Proud to have one of the best Air forces in ASEAN. Keep it up RSAF, enjoyed every moment when i was in PLAB.

Yeah, its hard to find enough people that don't wear glasses in singapore

At 1.51 the pilot is wearing specs?

just how many pilots are there in total to fly the planes?

Think of SHAFT as an acronym, not a word. -someone who knows
Dude he’s wearing glasses while flying!!!!??? I thought in order to be a pilot you must have exceptional vision, what the heck...
Go do some research
The air force in my country doesn't allow you to be a pilot if you don't have perfect vision.
He's probably a backseater of radar operator.
Degree must not exceed 500, and your vision must still be corrected to 20/20. Many airforces or airliner have the same rule.
Short or long sight is OK, colour blindness is a disqualifer though. Experience is the most important thing.
1. Don't be Malay
Completely besides the point
