The Nigerian Air Force #3540692
Description
The Nigerian Air Force was formally established in January 1964 with technical assistance from West Germany. The air force started life as a transport unit with aircrew being trained in Canada, Ethiopia and Pakistan. The air force did not get a combat capability until a number of MiG-17 aircraft were presented by the Soviet Union in 1966. In 2007 the Air Force had a strength of 10,000. It flies transport, trainer, helicopter, and fighter aircraft. In order to join the Nigerian Air Force, you must pass a BMI training.
