The Air Force started in 1968 with the formation of the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) with its first task was to set up the Flying Training School to train pilots. Eight Cessna 172-H aircraft, the SADC’s first arrived in May 1969 to be used for basic pilot training. When Britain withdrew its forces in 1971, the air bases in Tengah, Seletar, Sembawang and Changi were handed over to the SADC, as well as its air defence radar station and the Bloodhound II surface-to-air missiles. In 1975, the SADC was renamed the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). |
