NAF COMMISSIONS ANOTHER C-130H AIRCRAFT AFTER IN-COUNTRY PDM
Naf in its continued efforts to boost its airlift and combat support
capability for Armed Forces’ operations across the country, the Nigerian
Air Force (NAF) as of 29 January 2020, ‘accepted’ back into service
another C-130H aircraft, NAF 913, after a successful Periodic Depot
Maintenance (PDM) within the country at the 631 Aircraft Maintenance
Depot (631 ACMD), Ikeja, Lagos.
This brings to 2 the number of C-130H aircraft successfully reactivated in-country within the space of one year after NAF 917 was commissioned on 24 June 2019 upon completion of in-country PDM
Air Marshal Abubakar stated that the modest accomplishments so far achieved by the Service had greatly enhanced the serviceability of the NAF aircraft fleets and boosted its capability to project Air Power within and beyond the shores of the country. Apart from the commissioned C-130H, the CAS said, the NAF is equally undertaking the local reactivation of 3 Alpha Jets and one Mi-35P helicopter. “It is also my belief that in a few months ahead, we will also be here to commission the third C-130H, that is, NAF 918” - NAFHQ
It is indeed a great news to hear about the reactivation of the C-130H which plays a vital role in military transportation and we must commend the effort of the current administration to boost our military power, one thing we can both agree on is that our defense system needs a rapid make over to meet with the ongoing security challenges facing this great nation Nigeria and i believe this is a step in the right direction
