Nigerian Air Force Takes Delivery Of 5 Super Mushshak Aircraft From Pakistan

The Nigerian Air Force on Friday took delivery of five out of ten trainer Super Mushshak aircraft from Pakistan.

This was according to NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, who said the new aircraft would aid the training of its pilots for anti-insurgency operations.

Adesanya said in a statement that: “The first batch of the trainer aircraft, which is for the primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School, Kaduna, was received on arrival by the Air Officer Commanding, Air Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Chris Okoye.

He recalled that “NAF inducted the Super Mushshak aircraft into the NAF inventory on December 5, 2016. Since then, the in-house training of NAF pilots had resumed in earnest.

“With the arrival of the first batch of the trainer aircraft, the local training of NAF student pilots will receive a boost at a much-reduced cost.

“The new aircraft will soon be inducted into service after assembly and successful test flights,” he said.
