The RSAF joined Exercise Maple Flag in Canada, boosting combat skills and benchmarking against top global air forces.

The RSAF participated in Exercise Maple Flag at Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake in Alberta, Canada, from 10 to 22 June 2002. This multilateral air exercise allowed the RSAF to strengthen its operational capabilities by training in a realistic combat environment, and benchmarking itself against the best Air Forces in the world.
