Trainee dogfighters duke it out over Changi

Much in evidence here at the Asian Aerospace show this week are the four competitors for the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s basic/primary trainer competition: the Aermacchi M-311, Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano, Pilatus PC-21 and the Raytheon T-6B. The presence of these aircraft in Singapore coincides with the latest evaluation by the RSAF following earlier flights at the manufacturers’ test sites. The four contenders were flown by RSAF pilots in the days preceding the show, and formal proposals were to be submitted by February 14.  A winning bid is expected to be chosen during the first week of August.
