Video: Singapore’s F-15s take off and land on a public road during exercise
During Exercise Torrent 2016, RSAF (Republic of Singapore Air Force) combat planes, including for the first time Singapore’s Strike Eagles, perform “alternate runway operations” using a public road. (theaviationist.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Spectacular footage! Thanks for the share!
It is necessary. I am sure the RSAF has the same protocols as we do. We would do the same thing if our airbase is destroy during an attack. That is why the interstate system is made like it is. You have to have certain lengths on the interstates close to military airbases in the US in case of war.
False. Debunked here: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/publicroads/00mayjun/onemileinfive.cfm
Well being Veteran of the military for 20 years...I can assure you it tis done, and those protocols are put into place. They are seldom , and I do mean seldom but in some exercises mainly in the West in the desert where less traffic is found, it is practiced. Not everything is published for the public, because if it was, and lets say a F-16 decided to land on I-95 because of a failure some citizens might just think it might be the beginning of a war.
I agree with Dan.... was this really necessary?
Somewhat disappointing. I see this more as a publicity stunt put in place by the Air Force for internal propaganda purposes. The only part that I see as authentic / relevant is that a section of highway was used and that the F16 and F15 pilots involved have skills. Past that, the removal of light standards, sweeping of highway, placing arrestor cables, laying of barb wire, installation of lighting, etc., etc., etc is a far cry from what would be encountered should there ever be a pressing need in a time of war. Sure.... cool stuff to watch but only shows that the Singaporean gov't is good at doing is public relations. my 2 ¢
