Aerial survey this morning over western Singapore by 80-year-old DC-3 N882TP, one of d world’s oldest airworthy aircraft. Her flight took over six hours across a tiny slice of airspace.

Commendable catch by ever-attentive spotters in #Singapore. #CSG25

Despite d somewhat cryptic second sentence, former Malaysian PM, Tun (Dr) Mahathir Mohamad, meant well when he wrote this note to LG Winston Choo, the first Singapore Armed Forces chief of defence force. Tun’s elegant handwriting is much nicer than mine!

This evening, residents in eastern Singapore had a good view of The RSAF formations practising for Singapore’s National Day Parade on 9 Aug’25. MRTT, Fokker 50s, G550 AEW, C-130s n F-16s cross paths while in holding pattern. Rehearsals take place every Saturday till 9 Aug.

⚠️ Nice to see Mothership pick up my post about Tun M’s visit to Singapore. Tun was here just for d weekend. The post got quite abit of traction. Some thought d pix was AI - no it wasn’t! 🤣

“Though Europe has a long military history in Asia, it is quite rare for an Asian nation to send ships or aircraft to Europe…” Singapore is an exception with M346 in France, F15/F16/Apache in CONUS & stealth frigate to Europe in 2025 Joseph Hammond| 🇺🇸 | nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/why-…

Hav always been intrigued by HDB flats in Singapore whose designs differ from d norm, like Block 417 Bedok North. U can see d S'pore Strait from here. Am unsure if this block (n others like it) r still used as a high vantage point for observation duties - possibly not anymore?

Interesting to see how Singapore Armed Forces officers' pay has grown over the past 40 years. Where are you, numbers-wise, on this chart in 2026? 😊
