Is this Civilian or Military?

Singapore.

Just above my house, there’s a military airway so I can’t make anything out of this picture… It could be a C-17 or a KC-135R but some of my friends thought it could be civilian? I believe that most flights that use this airway usually flies from WSSL (Seletar) to WSAP (Paya Lebar).

I am a real noob at identifying aircraft far away so I thought maybe someone friendly here could help :)

I thought it was a B-52 for a second but I doubt it, mabye 747?

Its not a C-17, that one has a high wing configuration and its fatter. I think its a B747-400.

Mabye… But I don’t know, still saying 744

But it is out of the ordinary for a B744 to fly over my house lol all along it’s been C-130s, Fokkers, G550 Gulfstreams and F-15SGs…

You should get FR24 then look at where it was & see if any aircraft in the area is like that if not, it is military.

Yeah mabye you were right about the KC-135R

I did check. Nothing appeared. I mean that it’s just too weird… My house ain’t have any commercial airways above me unless it’s a really really off course aircraft but I doubt it

Mabye millitary otherwise it would show on FR24

So now the question is… is it a KC-135R as I believe it to be or a random unmarked B744?

It could be a KC-135R, looking closely, there aren’t winglets on the wings, and the Singaporean Air Force uses 4 KC-135Rs, and you mentioned there’s a military airbase close to where you live.

Well even an unmarked 744 would show on FR24 so defiantly millitary
