1984/11 - Newer jet trainers for advanced jet training

Training Aircraft

SIAI-Marchetti S-211

Year

1984

The RSAF received its first SIAI-Marchetti S-211 jet trainer, phasing out the T-33 and Strikemaster fleets for advanced jet training.

The SIAI-Marchetti S-211 jet trainer was acquired to meet the RSAF’s growing demands for advanced jet training. On 30 November 1984, the RSAF received its first S-211 jet trainer from Italy. This began the gradual phasing out of 130 Squadron’s ageing Strikemaster and T-33 fleets.
