Exercise Wallaby 2025 - Great Photos as Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Boeing CH-47F Chinook Helicopters Complete First Sorties from Warriors Camp near Rockhampton Airport

First photos taken on Sunday 7 June as four of the six Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Boeing CH-47F Chinook helicopters that have deployed to 'Warriors Camp' near Rockhampton Airport completed afternoon sorties to the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) and back as the Singapore Armed Forces Exercise Wallaby 2025 (XWB25) starts.

During the afternoon, Chinook 88163 flew to the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) from and back to 'Warriors Camp' as "Rescue 90".

Later, Chinooks 88167, 88171 and 88168 flew to the Bay from and back to 'Warriors Camp'.

As mentioned below, the Chinook helicopters are flown by the RSAF's 127 Helicopter Squadron which is based at the Sembawang Air Base (SBAB) in Singapore, but with a detachment at Oakey.

The squadron goes by the motto of "Strength, Courage, Swiftness", the motto is supported by the squadron motif, a white horse in full battle armour.

Sincere thanks to local photographer Steve V for allowing us to share these great photos!
