Nigerian Air Force have experienced the tragic loss of two air frames in a crash in Mpape, Abuja.

The sad incident occurred as the aircraft flew in practice formations for the October 1 Independence Day parade.

Good luck to the fly boys involved. I pray for your survival.

u want to compare Germany airforce with that of backward nigeria?

Don't be a dummy.

You cannot compare any WW2 plane with an Alpha jet.

Some of you don't know that in the bid to undermine your country you undermine yourselves.

Always talking nonsense.

Didn't the German Luftwaffe fly in formation during world war 2?

Can you compare those relics with the Alpha jets?

See the difference
Those things that crashed are scraps in other countries yet it's the real deal here

Eyaa!
Why won't it crash when the owner, Nigeria is crashed. Disasters and APC are twins.

Evidence that there is nothing to celebrate in October 1. It should be declared a day of crying and weeping because Nigeria is a fool at 59 years, all thanks to our politicians.

Nigeria is a giant crippled by her prodigal sons.

If you don't have anything sensible to say why not just shut the Bleep up especially when lives are involved.

My guess is that it's either the two jets are Alpha Jets or Albatrosses (I doubt if there are enough Chengdu F7Nis to spare, especially because of the NE commitment), but the point is that both of these airframes are old and outdated. Most decent airforces have retired them.

These airframes are tired. Maintenance is also an issue. Ťhis is going to affect the airforce someway, somehow - even if the jets were not drawn from the combat pool engaged in the NE theatre.

We have not even talked about the possible pilot fatality!

It's a mess however way you want to spin it.

They ejected.

Yes, it affects the air force but I say if you as an individual do not produce even a pair of slippers, what right do you have to condemn a product?

IBB your hero had 162 officers killed in 1992.

Your other hero GEJ, was in power when his NSA died in a chopper disaster.

In this case, it's been reported the pilots ejected.

Your body odour is acrid.

The way they were doing the rehearsal was just unnecessary what independence are we celebrating when people cannot feed and Nigeria is the lowest paid in the whole world in terms of minimum wage.

Who flies formation with an old rickety jet? When we can’t buy F-22,typhoon or sukhoi. We start flying formations with an outdated alpha jet

I actually witnessed this first-hand, my colleague and I both thought that they were displaying some stunts, because we saw the both pilots eject from their respective jets with parachutes.

Why we still have these 30+ year old Alpha Jets that were used during the days of ECOMOG in our air fleet just beats me. I was in traffic at Eagle Square when one of them buzzed us with low level flight displays. I nearly went deaf from the noise.
