Lim Chu Kang Road converted into alternate runway
Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 52 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: More than ten Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) aircraft executed a series of take—offs and landings on Lim Chu Kang Road on Sunday morning as part of an exercise.
Lim Chu Kang Road was converted into an alternate runway by the RSAF’s Air Power Generation Command (APGC) for an exercise involving the RSAF’s F—5 and F—16 fighter aircraft, and E—2C airborne early warning aircraft.
The APGC is responsible for generating and sustaining effective air power under the 3rd Generation RSAF and is a key enabler in the conversion of a major public road into an alternate runway.
Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean, Education Minister and Second Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen, and Minister of State for Defence Koo Tsai Kee witnessed the exercise.
This is the sixth time since 1986 that the RSAF has tested its ability to use a major public road for the launch and recovery of its aircraft.
