The RSAF moved its A-4SU Super Skyhawks to France for advanced jet training, overcoming Singapore’s airspace limits.

On 2 March 1999, the RSAF’s A-4SU Super Skyhawks were transported to Cazaux Air Base in France and were used for advanced jet training. This move helped overcome the limitations of local airspace.
