- Nigerians receive first C-130 after PDM
addthis_pub = 'aflink';
LISBON, Portugal - The ceremonial key to the first of five refurbished C-130H aircraft is being handed back to the Nigerian Air Force Jan. 26 after more than a year in depot maintenance. Seventeenth Air Force (Air Forces Africa) is orchestrating the capacity-building activity with its partner nation, which includes an extensive maintenance process to upgrade their fleet.
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- After more than a year of major repairs and maintenance, the U.S. Air Force helped return to operational service the first of five C-130 Hercules aircraft to Nigeria Jan. 21. Seventeenth Air Force (Air Forces Africa) is orchestrating the capacity-building activity with its partner nation, which includes an extensive maintenance process to reconstitute their fleet.
In February 2009, the Nigerian government requested assistance from the U.S. to reconstitute five of their eight C-130H aircraft to support peacekeeping operations on the continent, said Lt. Col. David Mackenzie, 17th AF's deputy director of the Strategy, Plans, and Programs directorate. The first aircraft then went through an extensive process called Programmed Depot Maintenance, and was readied to be accepted back into the Nigerian fleet. To help with the process, 17th Airmen joined with a team from the 118th Air National Guard Unit, Tenn, and Warner-Robins Air Logistics Center C-130 Program Office. Together, they partnered with their Nigerian counterparts.
"The Nigerians and U.S. military members were very eager to partner up to improve their Air Force, and specifically their C-130s and training aircraft," Colonel Mackenzie said. "The U.S. crew flew to the depot facility in Lisbon, Portugal, and went over the process to reintegrate the aircraft back in Nigeria's hands after being gone for more than a year."
The process, he explained, included $9.2 million of periodic depot maintenance, engine overhauls, propeller overhauls, and cockpit and avionics refurbishments. U.S. Air Force members provided the Nigerians a breakdown of what went on during the maintenance process and how to maintain the aircraft afterward. This included upcoming maintenance requirements, preventative maintenance and scheduling, and bookkeeping.
"We're just helping them out with the whole acceptance of an aircraft from PDM, and then how to maintain it once they get home," said Lt. Col. John Sapp, 118th ANG Stand Evaluations pilot. "We also showed them how to go through a [Functional Check Flight] to make sure that everything is working properly."
U.S. military C-130s go through an extensive PDM process every five years, and with the Nigerians becoming well versed with the practice for their own aircraft, the West African nation gained valuable experience for future PDM deliveries, Colonel Mackenzie explained. Ultimately, a healthy, well-maintained C-130 fleet means increased capacity for Nigeria to take part in peacekeeping operations, humanitarian relief and increased security.
"Both sides learned a great deal through this partnership which will help make the following three PDM efforts smoother, more productive and hopefully quicker," he said. "As a result of this effort, 17th AF and US Africa Command will move forward with plans to help continue the partnership and ensure the Nigerians are able to logistically support their fleet in the years to come."

Pilot dies as fighter jet crash-lands in Kano •Passengers stranded in Lagos
THE pilot of an Air Force fighter jet, Captain Abubakar Suleiman, lost his life on Tuesday, at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, when the jet crash-landed at the airport.
This is just as the Minister of Aviation, Mrs Fidelis Njeze, said over N12 billion would be spent by the Federal Government to reconstruct the airport terminal to international standard.
An eyewitness, who was at the scene of the incident, told the Nigerian Tribune that the fighter jet caught fire when it allegedly crash-landed.
The fighter jet, which crash-landed on the runway of the airport, was still on the tarmac at the time of filing the report.
It was also disclosed that the fighter jet was on training around the airport, with only the pilot on board when the incident happened.
The source said before the jet caught fire, it was hovering in the air and all of a sudden it came down and caught fire.
He added that the incident might have been caused by either a technical or mechanical problem.
All efforts made by the Nigerian Tribune to get the comment of the airport manager was unsuccessful, as he was not available when newsmen called his office.
Also, efforts to speak with the Air Force commander was abortive, as he was said not to be around.
The corpse of the pilot had been deposited at a mortuary.
Consequently, the airport temporarily closed to flight operations immediately after the crash.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) shut the airport to all operations.
The development was said to have left many passengers stranded, while Aero’s 5.30 p.m. flights were cancelled, even as other airlines refused to operate to the area.
Following the Kano incident, many Lagos-Kano bound passengers were stranded at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA2) Airport, Lagos.
When the Nigerian Tribune visited the local airport, scores of passengers were waiting anxiously to hear announcement on when their flights would depart for Kano.
An airline official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the airport was shut, adding that the stranded passengers were constantly being appealed to to be calm, pending when the situation would return to normal.
The Director-General of NCAA, Dr Harold Demuren, confirmed the incident, but said it was purely military operations, not under the control of his authority.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation, Mrs Njeze, who was at the Aminu Kano International Airport on a facility tour, said the domestic terminal had reached a 95 per cent completion, adding that it would be inaugurated by April 14.
She added that contract for the building of a new terminal had been awarded, saying necessary fund had been earmarked for the project.

- Nigerian Shipmates
Twenty-one Nigerian Navy personnel were welcomed aboard CGC MORGENTHAU in Dutch Harbor, Alaska on March 2nd. On March 3rd, the crew provided indoctrination training which included a meet and greet, group check-in's, and cold water survival/abandon ship training. Our new shipmates instantly fit in on board MORGENTHAU, both crews share the common bond that is so easily found among sea-going professionals. The Nigerians are great shipmates who are serious about their work. They have not stopped studying and learning about main propulsion, auxiliary, damage control, & electrical systems since reporting on board. Many have experience on board the 180 foot buoy tenders Nigeria received from the USCG. None have experience with Alaska... they marvel at the cool temperatures, big seas, and majestic scenery.

Nigerian Navy Acquires New Combat Boats
The Nigerian Navy has acquired and launched three new Manta combat boats to fight against piracy and address the challenges in the maritime sector.
Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft commanding officer Jonathan Ango said the high-speed combat vessels were fitted with greater-calibre arms and ammunition and were highly manoeuvrable.
The combat boats will replace the 30-year-old boats that had been deployed to fight piracy, illegal bunkering, and vandalism of oil platforms.
The navy has plans to deploy the three vessels in Lagos, South-East and the Niger Delta, West Africa naval-technology | |

Air Force reactivates four jets, pledges to maintain logistics readiness
By Femi Ogbonnikan Correspondent, Lagos
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reactivated four of its Alpha fighter jets in a bid to ensure its combat-readiness, said Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Mohammed Umar.
Speaking at a two-day logistics conference entitled, “Enhancing the existing logistics management system for efficient NAF air operations”, held at Sam Ethnan Air Force Base, Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday, the CAS said that the four alpha jets were reactivated by a private contracting firm in Germany as the company as which manufactured them had folded up.
He said the jets had been returned to their base in Kainji, Kogi State, waiting to fly.
Umar said that with the current global trends coupled with the uncertainty of adequate funding to meet increasing needs of the NAF, it had become imperative to develop new policies to maintain logistics readiness in order to provide support to counter any threat or request to assist other governmental agencies.
Umar also stated that the increase in Nigerian Air Force operating tempo over the years had consistently challenged its logistics readiness.
The Air Force chief, however, noted that upon his assumption of office on September 8, 2010, his administration viewed logistics as an important aspect of the NAF operations and as part of his visions to position the service for sustained employment of air power to meet joint national defence imperatives as well as provide swift response capabilities for emergencies and internal security challenges, focused logistics support for greater efficiency and higher productivity by giving it the attention it deserved.
The CAS stated that the relevance of the NAF cannot be over-emphasised with its impressive performance of its logisticians in the provision of platforms, professional handling and distribution of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) materials during the April general elections,.
The CAS seized the occasion to praise the chief host, Air Vice Marshal Hassan Nashehu, for reviving the conference, which was held last in 2006.
