On related matter..
Does singapore have 'Parachute Jumper' (PJ) type SAR team,
Pararescuemen (AFSC 1T2X1), also called PJs (a nickname pronounced 'pee jays' that refers to the earlier title 'para jumpers'), are trained combat medics who are highly trained to grab rescue downed pilots. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Pararescue
Watched a few documantries on discovery sometime back.
What I know was - my friend who was a dental tech who was asked to do excercise to simulate identifying remains of crash victim from dental records in middle of jungle (where else would a plane crash?) years ago. -
nope but we have FDS trooperOriginally posted by baer:On related matter..

what's a F-50? A Fokker or a chopper?

It is used as a MPA and transport plane by RSAF.Originally posted by moca:what's a F-50? A Fokker or a chopper?

I suppose if the downed helicopter is military then should be the Nuri as it is very old already. -
if im not mistaken...it happen last week......11 oil rig workers found safe after 6 hours of SAR but the pilot missing.....but praise to almighty god he's found next day slightly shaken and exhausted.......
im malaysian and on behalve of my fellow countrymen we would like to thanks our neighbour down south for their expertise and help....thanks again... -
You're welcome. Its not the nationality when it comes to saving lives, but its an organizational duty by all.Originally posted by SureRock:if im not mistaken...it happen last week......11 oil rig workers found safe after 6 hours of SAR but the pilot missing.....but praise to almighty god he's found next day slightly shaken and exhausted.......

1MS does SAR...but i think not to the PJ's extentOriginally posted by baer:On related matter..

AFAIK, PJs are capable of inserting behind enemy lines for rescue. I think our's are purely SAR.
-
the crash occured in bad weather about 200 metres from the oil rig whilst attempting to land and survivors were immediately rescued by the oilmen themselves.
its highly likely that the F50s were within the vicinity and due to sketchy info, the malaysian DCA may have asked these two F50s to do some real work instead of nosing around. -
Maybe we should think of this seriously as we seem to have many aircraft which are in danger of being shot down when there is a war and each pilot is worth many dollars and hours to get operational etc.Originally posted by Rockhound:1MS does SAR...but i think not to the PJ's extent -
yea... i was quite surprised when i read the news of malaysian govt authority seeking a foreign national naval and air force for assistance...Originally posted by ferryman2393:the crash occured in bad weather about 200 metres from the oil rig whilst attempting to land and survivors were immediately rescued by the oilmen themselves.

obviously they have very no faith in their own RMAF/RMN.... -
Since someone brought up the topic of CSAR, I found article worth reading up on.
