MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE (IDAHO): Singapore's already-strong friendship with the United States has reached another milestone with the opening of a new long-term defence training detachment in the American state of Idaho.
The detachment - the country's fourth in the US - will enable Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) personnel to carry out training on its newest F-15 fighter jet in the wide open spaces of the American Northwest.
Under an agreement, 12 RSAF F-15SG fighter jets will be based at the vast Mountain Home Air Force Base, which has an airspace of more than 19,000 sq km - six times the size of Singapore's.
