In partnership with the Air Force, the first phase of construction will begin soon and the site should be released late 2013, consolidating the bonds of friendship and cooperation between France and Singapore.
Installed in Cazaux for over twelve years, the 150th Squadron is training a dozen pilots each year. With the arrival of the M346 is a new era begins!
