Beegeagle's Blog 
are the special forces airforce or army
they have all three but the ones shown are likely to be either from the NA or the NAF.
These are Air Force personnel. I have a group photo of them including one female. How do I upload it to Beegeagle’s blog?
Paste here and I shall do the rest, man
i think the fighters are FT7 NI, because as far as i can see, there are two pilots
These are actually F-7NIs and not the trainer variant, and thus wrongly identified by Airliners.net. Compare this picture of the trainer variant: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nigeria—Air/Chengdu-FT-7NI-Airguard/1705773/L/&sid=9e758cdc58a5df828336219ef86eec92
“Fighter Trainer-7Nigeria”. Meaning they serve as training platforms but they can also be armed for combat duties.
Beeg, are you saying there was no mention of the acquisition of Su 27/30 throughout the Airshow? Maybe your very keen “eagle-ears” somehow missed it?
Please reassure us.
Noooo o, Spirit. That would make a sticky on this blog as you can imagine. No Su-27 or Su-30 jets.
We use this medium to REMIND the FG that our long under-served Air Force should be in pole position to clinch all eighteen units of Su-30K jets which are up for grabs in Russia at a unit cost of $10m and they are 97.5% new – 2003 vintage jets to boot. If we have a defence procurement establishment that is worth its name, we MUST NOT miss this opportunity.
I am sure that more purposeful buyers who recognise an opportunity for what it is, would neither allow dithering or bureaucracy to get in the way of this once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity.
At the very least, they are A DECADE more modern than the Su-27s variants which are in service with Angola and Ethiopia. It stands to reason therefore that acquiring the Su-30Ks would be a low-budget way of updating their potent stocks of Su-27s.
Nigeria can go to sleep on it as always because God placed money in the hands of the wrong African country. You can trust those who should swing that to come up short as they did with that ‘non-transaction’ which brought the F7s to Nigeria
You know what I’ve kind of reserved judgement on this issue but abeg I’m converted, please, you realise that every country of comparable size in Africa can defeat our air force without even using their full combat power?
Whats going on seriously?
If they said they want to concentrate on tactical strike aircraft I might not agree but I will hear, or only air superiority, but this tokunbo Chinese crap?
Honestly whats going on?
I don’t think nigeria has su 27 sorry to break ur heary
No pics from air expo 2012 on NAF’s own website, no pics on Air Expo’s own website, nah wah o.
What kind organization we get for dis country ??
Are you not alarmed? In 2010, it was this same great patriot, Ken Iwelumo, who put the maiden edition of the Air Expo on the global aviation map with a fat stash of fine photos.
While we bemoan the fact that Oyibo people are writing clap-trap about our own, our people are on ‘siddon look mode’ and they would not allow those who have the zeal and know-how to do it by simply outsourcing the coverage.
The convenient thing always seems to be invite our defence correspondents who have neither exhibited the technical nous for analysis nor the capacity for advocacy. Then at the end of the show, they would wait to be served with press releases and that is the job as they see it.
While the Air Show lasted, we had expected that the NAF and Air Expo websites, with six months of preparation behind them, would have provided updates – news and photos EVERYDAY.
ALAS! We really need to up the ante all round. Seriously!
