  I know that we have 3 squadrons of F5 and at least three squadrons of F16.
  Is there any more squadrons of fighters? The RSAF webby is totally outdated.
  Im beginning to suspect that we have 4 squadrons of F16.

  Basically, we have 3 sqn of F-16 due to the number of 60+ F-16s, but officailly we have 3 in SG, 1 training sqn of F-16s in US.
  
  Btw , we still have 1 training sqn of T/A4-SUs in France.

  Your SBAB SQNs more accurate then mine! thanks.... I think 120 SQN will be the new Apache SQN designation.

  Sqn 141 also has the Tigers
  
  Sqn 120 might get the AH-64

  Anyway, to answer the original question, we have 18 Squadrons, including those on overseas detachments....
  
  Excludes those "non-flying" Squadrons....

  The Youth Flying Club use to be 151 SQN. But after they "privatized" there is no longer a 151 SQN.
  
  150 SQN use to be a "primary trainer" SQN based in Seletar flying SF260s but now the SQN number used by the A4SUs in France.
  
  130 and 131 SQNs use to be based in PLAB as the advanced fixed wing trainers flying S211s. don't know whether the SQN still around or not.. now that it is based in Australia.
