Very nice images-yet i'm sorry to say -i've seen a better clearer images during my army stint.Even the Changi AB image are useless and got no strategic or tactical values-RMAF bases images.....well simply .....too small?I guess the size of the target area do play an important part-i mean it is easier to get a close up on something smaller ????Hmm....i really not an expert in photography, so please pardon my ignorance.

The "Boneyard", Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
Tucson, Arizona
Imagery collected August 11, 2002
Description: This natural color image of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, was collected by QuickBird on August 11, 2002. The boneyard serves as a holding place for out-of-rotation airplanes until their fate is decided; the dry, clear climate of Tucson provides an ideal environment for the storage of aircraft, as they can sit indefinitely without rusting. The hard, desert soil also makes for easy towing of the planes without the need for roads.

wow, nice pics, but then how do hide stuff from satellites like that??? and what are those planes on the bottom left hand corner of Changi pic. . . thought they were fighters, swing-wing ones, but not sure since I saw the passenger jet on the other side don't look much bigger than that plane, .. . . sorry, I not so pro until can identify planes with one look like that. . .

okok, fine fine, like I say, I can identify, can only tell they are swingwing stuff. . . but can't tell whether they are F-111 or B1 from the size, sorry lah!
-
if u look at the boneyard pic, you could see alot of F-111, the engines are at the rear not the side as in the B-1.
can see alot of F-14, F-4, E-2, A-3, T-38, B-52, 707, C-130 and F-103 too -
thx, yah, I saw the F-111. . . top left hand side, but not at the corner, slightly right of that. . . can see the F111s lined up

The new Changi AB runway is meant for the RSN's naval
airwings such as the current Fokker-50s used by Sqn 121,
the new KC-135R in Sqn112 and possible future acqusition of ASW
helicopers such as the SeaHawk.
In fact, Changi airport was actually a British RAF base during
the colonial period.
Oh, you aviation fans would be pleased to know that
will be held at this new venue which will use this new runway has a
flying demo routine. -
huh? got two changi airbase leh......
The Changi AB is housing the Fokker , KC-135 and near it, is a Airforce technician school.
The Changi East AB if i not wrong is to house the expanding Fighter fleet . I have not heard of any deployment of Fokker into the AB in the future.
Pls correct mi , if im wrong.. -
