A Republic of Singapore Air Force E-2C Hawkeye aircraft veered off the runway when it landed at Tengah Air Base after a routine flight on Tuesday morning.
No one was injured, but the aircraft sustained some damage, said the Ministry of Defence yesterday.
It is investigating the incident.
A similar incident happened in 1998, when an RSAF SIAI Marchetti S-211 veered off the runway while landing at the Royal Australian Air Force's Gingin Airfield in Australia.
This is located about 24km north-west of the Pearce air base in Western Australia, where the RSAF Flying Training School is located.
The pilot of the S-211 was not hurt, but the undercarriage of the aircraft was damaged.
