That's not airforce men in the picture, the picture is that of Nigeria Navy Rating in their Number 1 dress or ceremonial dress....
C 130 for training? What type of training is that? Maybe to conveying of troops and heavy military weapon like Armoured person carrier or the T72 tanks. It is all good that information has been passed across to the populace but that plane and Noise are inseparable.


Carry on Nigerian Airforce : Even the birds are Jealous.

I'm as shocked as you are. Why did the supermod attach pictures of naval ratings to my post?

I hope the transport aircraft won't crash this time around, cos the last time I checked, one C-130 of the NAF crashed some years back killing all crew on board, as a result over weight during take off which lead to all four engines failing simultaneously. Just saying though.

Night flying. Na winsh

Am sure they won't pass my side, so I give approval for the training.

They conducted similar exercises a few years ago and it spooked quite a few nairalanders. I'll search for the thread.

I mailed a picture to the mods and suggested that they should use that one instead. They've now changed the picture.

The NAF conducted similar exercises in 2014. The planes spooked some nairalanders (and twitter users who tweeted @ Gidi_Traffic). I'm currently searching for that thread.

Do we have an air force? Imagine when air combat rehearsal is carried out over residential buildings!

Lol. You na bad guy. Why you dey burst that guy like that na?

[size=18pt]Such a flight training in the city...? Shayoo na bastard... When we have ununsed landscape in the north... And besides C-130 is no longer in vogue.. Check out standard heavy duty airlift Global master c17. [/size]

C-17 Globemaster III
The C-17 is the newest airlift aircraft to enter the Air Force's inventory. The C-17 is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The aircraft is also able to perform theater airlift missions when required.
The C-17's system specifications impose a demanding set of reliability and maintainability requirements. These requirements include an aircraft mission completion success probability of 93 percent, only 18.6 aircraft maintenance manhours per flying hour, and full and partial mission capable rates of 74.7 and 82.5 percent respectively for a mature fleet with 100,000 flying hours.
The C-17 measures approximately 174 feet long with a 170-foot wingspan. The aircraft is powered by four fully reversible Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 engines (the commercial version is currently used on the Boeing 757). Each engine is rated at 40,900 pounds of thrust. The thrust reversers direct the flow of air upward and forward to avoid ingestion of dust and debris.
The aircraft is operated by a crew of three (pilot, copilot and loadmaster). Cargo is loaded onto the C-17 through a large aft door that accommodates military vehicles and palletized cargo. The C-17 can carry virtually all of the Army's air-transportable, outsized combat equipment. The C-17 is also able to airdrop paratroopers and cargo.
Maximum payload capacity of the C-17 is 170,900 pounds, and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 585,000 pounds. With a payload of 130,000 pounds and an initial cruise altitude of 28,000 feet, the C-17 has an unrefueled range of approximately 5,200 nautical miles. Its cruise speed is approximately 450 knots (.77 Mach).
The design of this aircraft lets it operate on small, austere airfields. The C-17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,000 feet and as narrow as 90 feet wide. Even on such narrow runways, the C-17 can turn around by using its backing capability while performing a three-point star turn. Maximum use has been made of off-the-shelf and commercial equipment, including Air Force standardized avionics.
The C-17 made its maiden flight on Sept. 15, 1991. The aircraft is operated by the Air Mobility Command with initial operations at Charleston AFB, S.C., with the 437th Airlift Wing and the 315th Airlift Wing (Air Force Reserve). The C-17 program is managed by the Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.
Service Life
Based on a buy of 120 aircraft, the last C-17 delivery will be in November, 2004. The original specification from McDonnell Douglas defined a service life of 30,000 hours. Modification programs will keep the aircraft in line with current and future requirements for threat avoidance, navigation, communications, and enhanced capabilities. These modifications should include global air traffic management (GATM) and automatic dependent surveillance to meet anticipated navigation requirements. Commercially available avionics and mission computer upgrades are being investigated to reduce life-cycle costs and improve performance. Also, upgraded communication systems to enhance worldwide voice and data (including secure) transmission will support command and control.
