As Singapore will soon approaches its 60th anniversary of independence this coming 9th of August, I would like to share with you the happenings across the country in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee during this National Day weekend.
Unlike celebrations from previous years, this year's National Day Parade will not be just held at Padang, but will be expended over to the various venues of surrounding Marina Bay area as part of the "expanded canvas" to mark SG60, with various events like carnivals and street performances.
1. NDP Flypast 2025, 9 Aug
This year's National Day's Fly our flag segment will feature a pair of two CH-47 Chinook helicopters carrying the State Flag, flying along both the eastern and western routes of Singapore. This segment will take place from 5.30 pm to 6.20 pm. Also, the pair of two CH-47 will each be escorted by a pair of AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters.
2. Red Lions and Fighter Island Flypast on 10 Aug.
At 4pm, the Red Lions, which is SAF's parachute display team, will be landing onto the Bishan Heartlands site. From 6pm to 6.30pm, there will be four F-16s fighters flying in a diamond formation over the five celebration sites. They will be flying each loop twice to provide more opportunities for people to catch a glimpse of them.
3. Mobile column on 10 Aug
As part of Celebrate @ Heartlands, there will be a showcases of 170 air, land and maritime vehicles from the SAF, Home Team, and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, travelling along five different routes.
