Fact Sheet: The RSAF's Aerial Display at the Singapore Airshow 2018

2 February 2018

#1: The show begins with one F-15SG and two F-16Cs flying past the show centre in an arrowhead formation.


#2: The three aircraft approach the show centre from the right, and the two F-16Cs pull up vertically and split at show centre, belly to belly, and make a 180-degree turn.
#3: The F-15SG makes 90-degree rolls anti-clockwise four times, each time with a one second pause in between.
#4: Flying towards each other, the F-16Cs roll along their longitudinal axes to create a spiralling effect.
#5: The F-15SG flies across the show centre from right to left and form a horizontal figure of ''8'' by pulling up and executing two consecutive loops to form both sides of the ''8''.
#6: The F-15SG pulls up to 9Gs in a 360-degree right turn.
#7: A single F-16C executes four 360 degrees anti-clockwise rolls as it flies past the show centre from right to left.
#8: A single F-16C rolls 90 degrees anti-clockwise and then 90 degrees clockwise as it flies past the show centre from right to left.
#9: The F-15SG flies across the show centre from left to right while the two F-16Cs spiral around it.
#10: The three aircraft approach the show centre from the right in an arrowhead formation, before pulling up vertically and executing a synchronised barrel roll.
#11: The two F-16Cs fly past in a mirrored-stack, one inverted on top of the other.
#12: The F-15SG flies towards the show centre from the right and executes a slow loop before exiting the show centre from the left.
#13: The F-15SG approaches the show centre, rolls 90-degrees clockwise while the F-16Cs fly towards the show centre at an angle and at low speed. One F-16C will fly across the crowd and the other F-16C will pull up into the sky.
#14: The three aircraft approach the show centre from the left in a ''V'' formation, executing a synchronised roll clockwise in front of the crowd, before pulling away from the show centre.
#15: The show concludes with the Golden Salute finale where all the three fighter aircraft -- one F-15SG and two F-16Cs pull up in an arrowhead formation and break away in an evenly spaced fan-burst.
