Out of curiosity, normally, PM take what plane when going overseas? And other ministers? MM Lee?
-

First class SIA..Originally posted by crispylips:Out of curiosity, normally, PM take what plane when going overseas? And other ministers? MM Lee?
If its a high profiled delegation, then it will be chartered. If not, normal SIA timings.
-
question is: why is there someone crawling in front of him?
-
Its a KC135. Comes with full anti missile protection and a full team of SOF.
Lucky the place is Cebu and not Mindano, Davo City. -
too short a trip to charter SQ aircraft.
Our ministers regularly use the Fokker 50 to travel up to penang or kuching for summits too.. -
hes a boomer/ loadmaster.....Originally posted by the Bear:question is: why is there someone crawling in front of him?
thats not ur SIA flight... -
Singapore doesn't have a US-equivalent Air Force One... So in light of the terrorist threats for the Cebu ASEAN Summit, KC135 would be the best choice as it has anti-missile systems on board...
-
KC 135 has anti missile defences ? What kind - flares or MAWS?
-
He's not important or that high profile enough. I reckon the only people who don't really like him are singaporeans themselves. And they probably don't even dislike him enough to even want to rid of him.Originally posted by tankee1981:His flight have fighter escorts? -
Yeah, the ministers fly regionally on the Fokkers. That one I am cock-sure. =D
Theres actually a few variants of fokker-50s in RSAF. Not all are MPAs. -
can u play ping pong while flying C130 or KC135R?
-
maybe it is different from the conventional ones.Originally posted by Fatum:I wonder how he liked the toilets on Charlie 130s .... -
