The 143 Squadron "Phoenix" of the Republic of Singapore Air Force currently operates twelve F-16 Fighting Falcon Block 52. Based in Tengah Airbase, the squadron's motto is "We Dare".

History

Formed in 1975, the squadron first flew the A-4 Skyhawk from Changi Airbase before moving to Tengah later the same year. In late 1980, it was the first to operate the newly upgraded version of the A-4 aircraft, the A-4SU Super Skyhawk. In 1997, the squadron relinquished all its remaining A-4SU Super Skyhawks to 150 Squadron for use in the Advanced Jet Training (AJT) program and was subsequently disbanded. The squadron was reformed in 2003 to operate the F-16C/Ds.

Information

The tail is adorned with a yellow & black checkered tailband. The squadron's logo is centered with the serial number on the base of the tail.[1]

Achievements

The squadron won the Best Fighter Squadron in the following years: 1989, 1990 and 2017.

  1. 16× T/A-4SU Super Skyhawks (1975–1997)
