Video: Singapore’s F-15s take off and land on a public road during exercise

Somewhat disappointing. I see this more as a publicity stunt put in place by the Air Force for internal propaganda purposes. The only part that I see as authentic / relevant is that a section of highway was used and that the F16 and F15 pilots involved have skills. Past that, the removal of light standards, sweeping of highway, placing arrestor cables, laying of barb wire, installation of lighting, etc., etc., etc is a far cry from what would be encountered should there ever be a pressing need in a time of war. Sure.... cool stuff to watch but only shows that the Singaporean gov't is good at doing is public relations. my 2 ¢

Cool.

I agree with Dan.... was this really necessary?

Spectacular footage! Thanks for the share!

Easy on the afterburners and light on touchdown, as public roads generally are not built with the same reinforcements as a military runway. No Navy carrier 'crash' landings trying to catch a third wire here...

It is necessary. I am sure the RSAF has the same protocols as we do. We would do the same thing if our airbase is destroy during an attack. That is why the interstate system is made like it is. You have to have certain lengths on the interstates close to military airbases in the US in case of war.

At times an innovation is the brain child of “Necessity is the mother of invention “ and at other times a recall of an idea or practice follows the axiom “ An ounce of prevention is better than cure “
The captioned idea / practice / trial falls in the latter category.
Well done RSAF .

A humble request to FA team - please create a system to edit a post OR delete a post, like I committed an error of omission in the famous phrase 'An ounce of prevention ..... '
