Pilot training: NAF takes delivery of Super Mushshak aircraft.

The long expected 5 out of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft from Pakistan for the training of pilots was on Friday delivered and received by Nigerian Air Force (NAF). This was made known to newsmen via the Face book page of Nigerian Air Force HQ.
The first batch of the trainer aircraft, which is for the primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School, Kaduna, was received on arrival by the Air Officer Commanding Air Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Chris Okoye.
Recall that NAF inducted the Super Mushshak aircraft into the NAF inventory on 5 December 2016, following the kind gesture of the Pakistan Government to temporarily make 4 Super Mushshak aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force available to the NAF, at no cost, to immediately commence the training of NAF pilots.
With the arrival of the first batch of the NAF’s trainer aircraft, the local training of NAF student pilots will receive a boost at a much reduced cost. The new aircraft will soon be inducted into service after assembly and successful test flights.
