The Republic of Singapore air force, or RSAF, will host a question and answer session with the Republic of Singapore Prime Minister July 11, in front of one of their F-15SG aircraft here. Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, Republic of Singapore Prime Minister, will be in touring the RSAF facilities along with Mr. Michael Donley, Secretary of the U.S. Air Force, and then they will each give the media an opportunity to ask questions about the on-going partnership between the two countries. Peace Carvin V is a partnership between the Republic of Singapore and the United States government for at least the next 20 years. A few years ago Singapore identified a need to upgrade their fleet of fighter aircraft and they negotiated with the U.S. to purchase new F-15SGs through direct commercial sales. Part of the agreement was to base them from a U.S. Air Force base, under the command and control of a U.S.-flagged 428th Fighter Squadron, which is similar to other Singaporean programs in the U.S. |
