National Day at the Heartlands 2024

RSAF Island Flypast Routes on 9 August 2024!

Prior to the National Day Parade (NDP) at the Padang on 9 August, the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) will reach out to Singaporeans in the heartlands through the “Fly Our Flag” flypast and the “Island Flypast”.

Fly Our Flag:

Into its fifth year, the “Fly Our Flag” segment has become an NDP favourite. Two CH-47SD/F Heavy Lift Helicopters, each escorted by two AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters, will carry the State Flag into the heartlands around Singapore. From 5.45pm to 6.30pm, they will be flying our State Flag via two routes to bring the NDP festivities to Singaporeans in the heartlands. The Western Route will comprise Woodlands, Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Batok, Jurong and West Coast locations. The Eastern Route will comprise locations such as Seletar, Sengkang, Punggol, Pasir Ris, Bedok and East Coast.

RSAF Island Flypast

Six F-16s will conduct a flypast through the heartlands of Singapore. From around 6pm to 6.30pm, the flypast will greet Singaporeans at various locations around the island, such as Clementi, Jurong West, Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Batok, Woodlands, Toa Payoh, Seletar, Punggol and Bendemeer.

The festivities will continue on 10 August 2024, with Heartland Celebrations co-organised by the People’s Association.
