SINGAPORE – Trainee fighter pilots from the Singapore air force have been honing flying tactics and basic skills since 1998 at an air base near Bordeaux in south-western France.
For 25 years, Cazaux Air Base has been home to the 150 Squadron, which comprises generations of instructor pilots, air force engineers, fighter aircrew trainees, support staff and their families. Dr Ng said: “Minister Lecornu and I shared perspectives on security challenges in our region. He has committed the French defence force to have a greater presence in Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. I think it is a good partnership and we look forward to strengthening defence ties.”
