MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho - The first four of 10 F-15SG fighters from the Republic of Singapore air force, or RSAF, arrived at Mountain Home AFB May 6. During a ceremony May 18, the 366th Fighter Wing, in conjunction with the RSAF, will officially activate the 428th Fighter Squadron “Buccaneers” here. The unit will include approximately 180 active duty and 130 support personnel as part of a long-standing partnership with the United States to train its aircrews. Over the life of the program, as many as 2,000 active duty RSAF personnel will live and work on the base. “The base is very excited to work with the RSAF because this partnership provides important combat readiness training for our Singapore partners, and fulfills the need to train as a team in a multi-national force structure,” said Lt. Col. Keith Gibson, the training squadron’s U.S. commander. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Airman 1st Class Renishia Richardson)
