Poloyanabo2: So you know the Airforce is in charge of the air? So when the Army chief is flying in the air who will be in charge? |

Poloyanabo2:how much is the entire military budget,then convert it to dollars We have this false sense that we're rich in this country. Nigeria is too poor for some luxury. Bicameral legislature is what we can't afford too |

tito44:Thanks alot, you got my point. That's why I said it might be due to longer throat, since the Airforce planes are better furnished and luxurious than the Army planes. If not I wonder why the Army chief won't be contented with the army planes. |

obyrich:Good point, so he had to use an Airforce plane that he wasn't sure about who configured or maintained it? |

MALIGNANTGuest:This crash seems like an assassination, He entered the aircraft of strangers, maintained and configured by people who weren't his boys, If it was an army aircraft at least there would have been better trust. |

24SEVEN:Who said so? Was he going on a war mission or peacetime mission? |

Sammy07:Is this what is obtainable in other advanced countries? In advanced countries there's a level of independence among different arms of the military, I don't think they share equipments unless during war situations. |

FarahAideed:Do the members of the airforce use the "presidential fleet"? What I meant is that the planes in that fleet should be taken away from Buhari and distributed to the security agencies including The Police, The Army, The Airforce and the Navy, depending on how operationally important they're to those agencies.. The British Prime Minister has no "fleet" of comfortable aircrafts, yet he/she is obviously more administratively productive than the litany of circus clowns that have occupied Aso Rock over the last three decades... Poor countries like Nigeria should not indulge in these sorts of dramatisation of profilgacy.... |

XXXXTENTACION:Thank you, the US navy has the second largest number of fleets of aircrafts in the world, US Army has their own fleet, US marines have their own fleets, Including the coast guard for patrols. So there won't be any need for any arm to use the planes of the Airforce, Only the president is entitled to that. I thought Nigeria always loved copying the west, why couldn't we copy this and at least buy one or two transport planes for the Army and Navy too? Why should the army wait for Air support before fighting in the north east? Ministry of defence should look into this, it's archaic. |

owobokiri: Of what use would a Dassualt Falcon and BBJ 737 be to any Airforce operation..all those aircraft were purpose built for VIP transport and that's the only thing they can be used for .. |

chinjo:No Bro its an exclusive preserve of the Nigerian Airforce, Army has their battle tanks and helicopters, Navy has their ships, No other arm can use the equipment of the other arm without proper permissions. |

FarahAideed: The gentleman that just died in a plane crash is a "VIP" from the security agencies..., on a serious official assignment too. The military heads travel a lot. .. An octogenarian president shouldn't.. |

owobokiri: I know he uses the PAF aircrafts too when the need arises ..let's. It forget this Ill fated trip was just a 30mins trip from Abuja to KD and that Beechcraft king was the most suitable for such a haul 1 Like |
