Fokker

I saw a F-50 Fokker flying at less than 2km above ground today. (instead of the usual 7.5km) No doubt everyone would’ve heard of it by now

Road collapses along Nicoll Highway
A PORTION of Nicoll Highway near the Golden Mile Complex where the MRT’s Circle Line is being built has collapsed. Access to the road between the Kallang area and Suntec City has been blocked off by police and civil defence officers at the scene…

…Another eyewitness told The Straits Times Interactive that the Navy’s Fokker planes are circling the site; emergency personnel are engaged in crowd control.

I saw the plane right after third language lesson, at exactly 4.32pm. It flew from the north-east to the south-east and was clearly descending in altitude over that time. I was pondering whether to ask anyone if there was an airfield in that direction, since my geography does suck a lot. :/ Damn I should’ve taken a picture… although the distance was too far to be of any use. I would also like to add that I have never even heard of a Fokker before in my life. See how obscure a military plane it is: F-50 Fokker

Military Fokker 50 operators:
Royal Netherlands Air Force
Singapore Government
Taiwan Government
Thai Police
Tanzania Government

I could care less about a plane that five armed forces in the world use. Four if you don’t count the Thai Police.
