SINGAPORE'S airspace was shut down temporarily last night when two air force F16 jets were scrambled to intercept a civilian plane heading here without an approved flight plan.

Aviation experts said that following the Sept 11, 2001, attacks, the RSAF operates an enhanced air defence against airborne terrorist threats, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Air forces the world over have been wary of copycat attacks by terrorists commandeering planes as 'guided missiles'.

Colonel Lim said: 'The RSAF continues to maintain a high state of readiness.' "

Well done RSAF!
It must be tough to operate like 7-11. 24/7.
I hope the Singapore Govt decides to pay these good people working 24/7 a good sum of bonus this year.
Afterall, i think its definately painful to

1) Come back on weekends to watch over Spore.
2) Stay up at 3am in the morning to watch over Spore.

I can go to sleep peacefully tonite becoz i know RSAF is providing 'enhanced air defence against airborne terrorist threats'...

Waaaaaaoooo.........

Regards
Hopeful.
