Hopefully not my last Lucky catch of the day !
RSAF F15SG
The F-15SG (formerly F-15T) is a variant of the F-15E, ordered by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) after a seven-year evaluation period involving five other fighter aircraft under consideration. The F-15SG was chosen on 6 September 2005 over the Dassault Rafale, the only other remaining aircraft in contention. An order for 12 F-15SG fighter was placed in December 2005.[109] The F-15F designation was also reserved for the RSAF.
On 22 August 2005, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified US Congress about a potential Foreign Military Sale (FMS) of weapons, logistics and training in the event that the Boeing F-15 was selected by Singapore. The package's options include AIM-120C and AIM-9X missiles; GBU-38 JDAM and AGM-154 JSOW air-to-ground weapons, Night Vision Goggles and Link 16 terminals.
The Singapore Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) on 22 October 2007, exercised the option to purchase eight more F-15SG fighters which was part of the original contract. Along with this buy, an additional order of four F-15SGs increased the total order to 24 fighters. The first F-15SG was rolled out on 3 November 2008. Deliveries of F-15SGs began in 2009 and all 24 were declared operationally ready in September 2013. Media reports in March 2013 suggested Singapore may buy more F-15SG fightersComment

And then, sorry I should say this, the naive masses will insist that it's ok to buy an extravagant thing, because the king deserves it (I have no problem, as long he used his own money .. )
