Operated by 1 Flying Training Wing from SLAF base China Bay. The unit is expected two new additions soon, one surplus Royal Australian Air Force Beech 350i and a brand-new Beechcraft -Textron 360ER. This Beech 200 will become a trainer from that moment. During a fine 4Aviation tour to the base, the sole Beech of the SLAF made a demonstration flight for us.
