The first of 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack, combat and reconnaissance aircraft for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) successfully completed its inaugural flight at the production facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

The full fleet of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft for the NAF are currently in production by SNC and Embraer at the Jacksonville facility with delivery to the NAF expected on schedule in 2021, Embraer Defense & Security and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) announced today.

The NAF A-29 aircraft will now begin mission modification and final testing in Centennial, Colorado. Following final testing, before delivery, NAF pilots will train in the aircraft.

“This is an exciting milestone in the production of these A-29s for the Nigerian Air Force. The Jacksonville production line is active, and Embraer and SNC look forward to seeing these aircraft continue to roll off the line in the coming months,” says Jackson Schneider, president & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security.

“The aircraft met or exceeded all the requirements and we are very pleased with the successful flight,” stated Ed Topps, vice president of Tactical Aircraft Systems and programs for SNC’s IAS business area.

Nigeria ordered these aircraft to combat the increasing threat of Boko Haram terrorists that has been plaguing the African nation for nearly a decade now. Nigeria has in recent times received tanks and armored vehicles from China, the Super Mushak trainer from Pakistan and is scheduled to receive the JF-17 fighter jet from Pakistan this November.

WW2 plane

This light air support aircraft can only be used in operations against terrorists or enemies who lack air defence systems.

Wait is this what we are celebrating ? Come on na this is rubbish

Mace0lane:
If PDP or Jonathan were still ruling this country the money for this would have been looted.

Gbam!

Nonsense and APC, Chad dealt with Boko boys without Tucano or Bucano but here in Nigeria our leaders must find a way of stealing our money. Just give chad half of what our leaders have spent so far on this Boko war and u see Chad display the dead body of Shekau.

This obsolete plane still using world war 2 turbo propeller? Yeye dey smell

I don't think Nigeria need F 22 to fight boko haram. US also use the aircraft to fight the taliban in Afghanistan.

Naptu2, sir, perhaps you’d need to educate some people on this thread

Nice.. Let's hope this is actually true and they get to Naija.

Stupidity and this government cannot be separated. See how a fighter jet be like a toy .

It is best as surveillance aircraft not to fight some terrorist.

How will this kind of aircraft have accurate guidance system? We will soon hear mistakingly bombing villagers unknowingly.

Why do u love to be suffering and smiling at the same time? If u are among the people that see Buhari as their Messiah, u are a living death

In the era of F35 we are flying tucano lol

I don't understand... Which fighter jet uses propeller in this generation of anti aircraft guns.

This one can't fly fast and high enough to avoid AAG.

Shekau be watching this video with his boys and be like "These Nigeria military are clowns"
