This post was inspired by my recent catch of both versions of the @thersaf Fokker 50 (712-Utility Transport Aircraft/UTA and 714-Maritime Patrol Aircraft/MPA) flying together and doing circuit at the same time. Definitely not an everyday thing. Displayed in this post (picture #3) is my humble collection of 121 Squadron patches/coin that traces its history back to 1973 when it first flew the Short Skyvan 3M, predecessor of the current Fokker 50. Back then (1973-late 1993) their mascot was the Gannet until it became Brahminy Kite with the Fokker 50. 121 Squadron operates one of two RSAF platforms jointly with the @singaporenavy which explains the apt tagline - 1 Family, 2 Services, 1 SAF - on their patch. This joint operation between the two services started since 1988 when the Skyvan began to undertake Maritime Air Surveillance (MAS) missions and was sustained when the Fokker 50 MPA version arrived from 1996. Next year 2023, 121 Squadron will celebrate its 50th anniversary and the Fokker 50 will commemorate 30 years of service (UTA version arrived in 1993, MPA in 1996). This will be a significant milestone for the Gannet/Brahminy Kite/Enforcer family from both services. Reference: Goh, Y. K.

With beautifully crafted music,.. the dynamic libretto,..flows forward effortlessly with such grace and radiance... All done with the some of the most exquisite voices heard on stage...the two drive their way into history and a sadly heartbreaking foregone conclusion, steeped in generational love and care, stitched in humanity and determination."

Monday motivation. Feel the rush of being beneath the wings of a 122 Sqn Condor (C-130H). Stood right in the path of this inbound Charlie 130 to catch this flyover. More than 40 years of service with the RSAF. Truly dependable. #TheRSAF #AboveAll #OneSAF #AviationGeek #MilitaryAviation #MilitaryEnthusiast #aviationphotography #instagramaviation #aviation4u #excellentaviation #PlaneSpotters #MilitaryGeek #instagood #122SQN #C130H #Condor #Herky #Charlie130 #Dependable #TransportGroup #ProjectandDeliver #Singapore #avgeek #Nikon #NikonD500 #Nikonsg #PlanesPatchesPeople (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLlUE-aBMlM/?igshid=1qa9a9935b5hj

Transport Thursday. On this day in 1993, the first of four Fokker 50 UTA ordered by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) arrived at Changi Airbase. The Fokker 50 UTA comes in 2 versions - UTA-A and UTA-B. The A version is for general transportation while the B version has a wider aft door to facilitate medical evacuations and paratroop operations. @thersaf #TheRSAF #AboveAll #OneSAF #AviationGeek #MilitaryAviation #MilitaryEnthusiast #aviationphotography #instagramaviation #aviation4u #excellentaviation #PlaneSpotters #MilitaryGeek #instagood #121SQN #SeekandDestroy #BrahminyKite #Fokker50 #TransportGroup #ProjectandDeliver #OTD #Singapore #avgeek #Nikon #NikonD500 #PlanesPatchesPeople (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6nBVIhEi6/?igshid=1in1sf5a9n6ee

Maritime Monday. Fokker50 Maritime Patrol Aircraft wags it’s wings on landing approach. This particular Republic of Singapore Air Force Fokker50 MPA had the honour of being deployed in Djibouti, Africa, for counter-piracy operations as part of the international Combined Task Force 51 (CTF-51) from April to July 2011. She and her crew flew the Singapore flag proudly as they undertook aerial surveillance and coordinated search and locate operations to investigate suspicious vessels. Info source: Goh, Y. K.
