Singapore Gulfstreams,unraveling the enigma

Post by Le Addeur noir »

A type of airplane developed and fliwn by 2 of the most secretive Asian nations.

Conventional wisdom had it that the 4 G550AEW were RSiAF serial numbers 016 to 019,fowwowing on from the 4 E-2C of 111 Sqn at Tengah AB.However,the appearance of G550 serial number 010 blew that out of the water.

At the current Singapore Air Show,G550 serial number 010 is in the static diaplay and by standing in the right place one can just make out the top half od former IDF/AF serial 514.

Therefore serial number 010 is the 4th G550,previously reported as number 019.

The 4 G550s should be,

016 ex IDF serial 544 and c/n 5044
017 ex IDF serial 532 and c/n 5132
018 ex IDF serial (543) and c/n 5143
010 ex IDF serial 514 and c/n 5014
Drink treble
See double
Act single

and the Emir called up his jet fighters

The plate on 010 confirms it as 5014.
