Aircrafts featured.
F-15 Active: Modified F-15 which supports Thrust Vectoring. Note the extra fins in front.

A4 (Skyhawk): Singapore modified theirs to become the Super Skyhawk. Basically they just added in F-15 engines.

F-15 (Eagle): Aircraft selected to be bought to replace the F-5. Note the extremely high angle of attack (ie climb angle)

Antonov 225: Aircraft capable of carrying 250tons of cargo. not the 6 engines and the rows of landing wheels.

F-16 (Fighting Falcon): Singapore's main stream fighter. The most popular 4th generation fighter in the world. Capable of 10,000lbs of weapons

Su-37 (Super Flanker): Russian made aircraft thats super fast and boasts thrust vectoring. Note the fins in front as well. Similar to F-15 Active

F-5 (Tiger): Extremely light weight aircraft. Used in the Vietnam War. Singapore owned a/c.

F-14 (tomcat): Boasts reconfigurable wing design. Basically can sweep its wings to adjust for speed. Carrier based aircraft. Kinda like the icon of carrier based aircraft.

F-35 (JSF): The fighter of tomorrow... Super sonic, stealth, cheap, highly lethal. Singapore has a share in the development of this aircraft.

F-22 (Raptor): The most advanced aircraft in production. Virtually undetectable on radar unless its flying next to you. Thrust vectoring, can go super sonic without afterburners. includes features like Flaparons (basically ailerons combined with flaps) cool.....

yeahz... missed out on the RM-101 (is that correct?) basically its the Rafale that singapore wants to buy. and the Eurofighter Typhoon which singapore also wants to buy... whoops.... hee..... anyway.... feeling much better again.... things are improving..... ^_^
