Question about Singapore A-4's

Post by Interceptorsaurus »

Hi all.

I have a question about the identity of the Singapore Airforce's Skyhawks that were part of their demoteam Black Knights in 2000.
It has been quite a while ago I saw these 4 flying at Tengah but I've never succeeded in tracking the real identity of the A4's nrs. 1-2-3-4 aside from their team-codes. The team was completed with F16A's nrs 5 & 6.
If there is anyone out there who has any info on these 4 Skyhawks I would really appreciate it if you'd reply to this message and fill me in.
It might be a longshot but hey, you never know!!
Thanks in advance for the efforts,

greetings,
Jos.

Hi Erwin!

GREAT! Thanks for your reply, that's 25% solved so far...!! :P
As I said, it was a longshot but who knows, somebody else might have some additional info on these machines!

Greetings,
Jos.

In Januari 2002 we red number 1 as 148504 on the nosewheeldoor. Until now we don't know the Singapore AF serial.

Hey Patrick.

Would that possibly have been 148304? This would be RSiAF 918.
I don't know of 148504 to have been delivered to Singapore. This one has been delivered to Argentina. :wink:

Best regards,
Jos

Hey Jos,

Saw 918 on the same date. 148504 was delivered to Singapore according to Joe Baughers list and Scramble DB.
148504 is c/n 12697. C/n 12967 was delivered to Argentine AF
