Notes:

A Fokker 50 Enforcer maritime patrol aircraft on static display with inert Harpoon anti-ship missiles on its fuselage hardpoints. The RSAF first received its fleet of five F50MPA in 1994 but only officially revealed the aircraft's offensive capability a decade later in 2004. In April 2011, one of these was deployed to Djibouti for counter-piracy ops in the Gulf of Aden. A possible replacement of these venerable aircraft could be upgraded ex-US Navy P-3 Orions.
