      Oznaka ratnog zrakoplovstva Republike Singapur (RSAF) predstavlja sveprisutnu ulogu u obrani zemlje. Centralni dio znaka se sastoji od nacionalnog grba  kojeg drže srebrna krila Zračnih snaga. Tu je i posuda sa zlatnim lovorom. Nacionalni grb, polumjesec sa pet zvijezda koje drže lav i tigar, ima slijedeću simboliku: polumjesec predstavlja mladu naciju, a zvjezdice: Jednakost, Mir, Napredak, Demokraciju i Pravdu. Grb je izdignut visoko kao simbol odličnosti, čistoće i univerzalnoga bratstva.

      The RSAF crest has come to symbolise the all-encompassing role air defence plays in Singapore's national security. It consists of the National Coat of Arms - a crescent moon and five stars upheld by a lion and a tiger - supported by the silver wings of the Air Force within a bowl of golden laurels. The national banner of a young nation - symbolised by the crescent moon - is Equality, Peace, Progress, Democracy and Justice, as represented by the five stars. The banner flies high on the RSAF silver wings as it stands proud on a plane of laurels, a mark of excellence, purity and universal brotherhood.

TENGAN AIR BASE ZRAKOPLOVNA BAZA TENGAN

      Tenganov moto "Uvijek spremni" simbolizira šahovska figura crnog konja (crnog viteza). Mač je heraldički znak ratne destrukcije, a kula predstavlja državu. Britanci, 1932. grade aerodrom za podršku svojoj pomorskoj bazi Sembawang. Konstantne dogradnje i poboljšanja doveli su bazu do najviših standarda pa je u mogućnosti primiti i najsofisticiranije avione. Od 1971. do 1976. baza je, po ugovoru, udomljavala Britanske, Australske i Novozelandske avione. Sada baza u svom sastavu ima avione F16.

      Tengah's motto, Always Vigilant, supports its main motif, a chess board Black Knight piece symbolic of the aircraft's operational readiness in Tengah. The sword represents war's heraldic sword of destruction, while the state is depicted by the castle. Constructed in 1932 by the British to give air cover to the naval base in Sembawang and commissioned RAF Tengah in 1939, the Air Base was constantly improved upon to prepare it for the increasingly sophisticated aircraft that was coming in. It was renamed Tengah Air Base in 1971 when it was handed over to the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC). And from 1971 to 1976, under the Five Power Defence Arrangement, Tengah became home to the British, Australian and New Zealand forces. Currently, Tengah houses the RSAF's F16 Fighting Falcons, E2C Hawkeyes and A4SU Super Skyhawks.
