The RSAF became an A-4 Skyhawk operator in the early 1970's. There are conflicting reports about how many A-4's the RSAF operated in the end, and the US FY # involved are not a 100% clear either. E.g. 912 shown here is reported to have US FY # 144966 (cn 12212) or 144972 (cn 12218). It started life as a single seat A-4B in 1959, and inserting a 28 inch fuselage "plug" modification made it a dual seat trainer at some point, resulting in the odd looking two bubble canopy unique to the ~20 RSAF TA-4's. The TA-4SU designation came after an upgrade carried out by ST Aerospace in the mid 1980's.

In February of 2008, the RTAF ordered a 1st batch of six Gripens, among them four dual seaters. The airframe pictured here was delivered in February 2011 and assigned - like all others - to 701 Squadron based in Surat Thani. A 2nd batch of six Gripens (all JAS-39C) was ordered in February 2009, but the order was only confirmed by the Thai Government in November of 2010. Finally, a 3rd batch of four to six airframes was planned but never exercised. Of the 12 delivered, 11 remain in service, with JAS-39C serialled "Kh.20-8/56" (Military code 70108) being written off on January 14, 2017.

The airframe pictured here is modified with the "Advanced Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance System" (ATARS), thus becoming an F/A-18D(RC). The installation of the electro-optical sensor system required the standard M61 cannon to be removed. ATARS was only installed in USMC all-weather-attack squadron F/A-18D's. Four such units operated three F/A-18D(RC) each, meaning at least 12 Hornets were modified (even though some reports suggest as many as 60). South Carolina based VMFA(AW)-533 "Hawks" operated the F/A-18D between 1992 and 2022. This bird was previously assigned to VMFA(AW)-332.

"818" previously served with the Royal Jordanian AF as "937" (US FY # 75-0621). Between 1979 and 1989, Singapore purchased 35 new single seat F-5E and 9 new dual-seat F-5F Tiger II in five batches. In addition, seven F-5E's were obtained 2nd hand from Jordan in 1994, bringing the total number of F-5's operated by the RSAF to 51. SQN 149 "Shikra" based at Paya Lebar stopped flying the F-5's in early 2010, just to start transitioning to the newly delivered McDonnell Douglas / Boeing F-15SG Strike Eagle on April 5, 2010.

In March of 1966, the Royal Thai AF became an F-5 operator, and over the years introduced 81 airframes of various versions. The airframe shown here was one of six F-5F delivered to Thailand under US FY # 79-1693. It was among twelve F-5E and three F-5F upgraded to F-5T / F-5TF standard by ELBIT under a contract awarded in 2003. A 2nd modernization program by ELBIT started in 2014, bringing eleven single seat F-5T and three dual seat F-5TF to F-5TH and F-5THF "Super Tigris" respectively. As such, 91693 took part in the LIMA'23 show on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia.
