2000/01 - World Class People, First Class Air Force
2000
The RSAF launched its "World Class People, First Class Air Force" vision, aiming to match the world's best despite its size.
The RSAF began promoting its vision of "World Class People, First Class Air Force" in 2000 to signal its readiness to benchmark itself against the world's best Air Forces, in spite of its relative youth and small size.
“The RSAF has overcome many limitations to become a first-class Air Force today. These achievements are possible because of its formidable combination of committed people and advanced technology.”
Dr Tony Tan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, 1998
