In late 1997 the Republic of Singapore Air Force Skyhawk training unit 143 was disbanded and its aircraft shipped to Cazaus Air Base in southwestern France. In 1998 the RSAF 150 Squadron was formed as the new training facility equipped with the A-4SU Super Skyhawk’s. The Cazaus Air Base would give the RSAF the ability to train and practice over the Atlantic Ocean. On June 18 and 19, 2011 an air show was held at Saint-Dizier - Robinson Air Base and the RSAF 150 Squadron took part by sending two of its A-4SUs, number 27 and 33.
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a carrier capable light-attack bomber designed for the US Navy and Marine Corp. First flown in June 1954, the A-4s combat career began with carrier-launched raids over North Vietnam in 1964. The Navy began removing A-4's from its front-line squadrons in 1967, with the last one retired in 1975. The Marine Corps retired the Skyhawk in June 1994.
