 CAS CELEBRATES NAF PILOTS AS THEY LOG 10,000 FLIGHT HOURS ON THE A-29 SUPER TUCANO FLEET



The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, was in Kainji, Niger State, earlier today, 15 August 2024, to celebrate the achievement of a significant flying milestone by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) pilots, who have now logged 10,000 flight hours on the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft fleet. Speaking at the event, Air Marshal Abubakar noted that the milestone represented the culmination of years of dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to NAF’s mission of “ensuring the integrity of the airspace by gaining and maintaining control of the air while retaining a credible capacity to fulfill other airpower tasks demanded by National defence and security imperatives”. According to him, “Reaching 10,000 flight hours is no small feat as it symbolizes the countless hours of training, meticulous planning, and flawless execution that have gone into every mission we have undertaken.” He also stated that the feat represented the exceptional skills, professionalism, and resilience of NAF’s brave men and women who have served and are currently serving.


The CAS also expressed delight that the milestone was achieved without any major incident on the aircraft, which he attributed to the high premium the NAF places on safety. “Invariably, strict adherences to safety measures emplaced are enabling us to achieve the desired results,’ he noted. He then went on to pay tribute to NAF’s fallen heroes, noting that the milestone was a reminder of their sacrifices, courage and commitment which have continued to, ‘inspire us all and remind us of the importance of our mission.’.
