Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)
Second generation (1985 to 2005)

1994/08 - Exercise Cope Tiger

Exercise/Operation

Exercise Cope Tiger

Year

1994

Exercise Air Thai-Sing was renamed Cope Tiger, boosting RSAF, Thai, and US Air Forces' joint combat training and cooperation.

In August 1983, the RSAF participated in the first Exercise Air Thai-Sing with the Royal Thai Air Force in Korat, Thailand. Exercise Air Thai-Sing was renamed Exercise Cope Tiger in August 1994 following the participation of the United States Air Force. In this exercise, the US Air Force, the Royal Thai Air Force, and the RSAF conduct mission-oriented combined air combat and ground attack training to familiarise themselves with the local flying conditions as well as one another’s operating procedures and aircraft capabilities. It remains an excellent platform for professional exchange, close cooperation, and mutual understanding between personnel from the three Air Forces.
