Not possible for RSAF aircraft to make a standard instrument approach into WSAP without violating Bolehland's territorial airspace, a ban in which they had enforced since 1998.

Unless the over guang ho pilots prefer to land on runway 20 Kai Tek style, flying in from the east towards Pulau Ubin (while simultaneously violating air traffic separation minima and sounding off numerous TCAS Traffic Advisory/Resolution Advisory (TA/RA) aural warnings in the cockpits of commercial aircraft climbing out from or on final approach into WSSS resulting in them having to perform evasive manoeuvre or declare a go-around), turning sharply just before Papa Uniform DVOR/DME and finally intercepting runway 20 ILS localizer in heavy crosswind for a perfect crab landing.

Sorry, just couldn't resist. :sweat:

That is a Acceleration Monitoring Assembly (AMA) pods painted a different colour to aid in aerial recognition. There seems to be also a similar one on the port side wingtip of the other F-16C. ;)

Actually they could run in from 20 from the West via Punggol , seen it a few times from NDP rehearsals when they could not land via 02. Its like a circus returning , chop chop, 1 minute pattern right hand and left hand . All in less than 5 minutes flat, not forgeting all aerodomes are closed for NDP for the period.
 

Thank you again gilcrest for all the info, I learn each time i post a new photo.

I would say Rwy20 arrivals are for really special occasions..ie, NDP, hung ordnance recovery etc etc where you have to avoid the populace. NDP recovery is not feasible via Rwy 02 due to the ongoing aerial activities in D4 and Marina Bay area.
 

Any one have any idea what is the long strange looking staff under the belly of the F5. Normally never seen this.

Great Pics!

I saw the last four 'performers' circling around my area, coming back once every 5 mins...
What were they doing? o.O
They were SUPER noisy - Like WAY noisier than usual as it is quite common to have planes flying above my house for landing etc. to PLAB.

Thanks ! They were on afterburner quite a number of times and other practices before lining up together returning in formation landing with 1 minute interval.
 

They are rehearsing for RSAF Open House next weekend. That formation is the finale for the fighters show.
