		Until late in the war no attempt was made at camouflaging the Nigerian Mig 17s and they were operated in the original protective aluminum paint, their surfaces were not left in natural polished aluminum like those of western aircraft.
		That being said the Nigerian military organization left something to be desired which is only to be expected from a force that young and inexperienced.
		The Nigerians can mostly be criticized for not buying one of the more capable liscense built variant of the Mig 17F such as the Polish LIM-5/6 who by virtue of its extra weapons pylons was considerably more versatile than the Soviet variant the Nigerians bought.

		Certainly for the Air Force and probably for the nation as a whole, the post-Vietnam period of the ’70s was characterized by inactivity and stagnation—the United States found it could do nothing to respond to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan except boycott the Olympics.

		The reason for the celebration, the wives of NAF personnel explained, was because the new AS has expressed determination to revive the force and move it forward from its present position.
		Inside the NAF hangar, some of the planes had been dismantled, apparently for repairs, but the funds needed to bring in some of the broken equipment are yet to be released by the Federal Government.

		Unlike the old Boeing 727 presidential jet which has the inscription "Federal Republic of Nigeria," the new jetliner carries the inscription: "Nigerian Air Force" with the number "5N-FGT." When contacted, Oluremi Oyo, the senior special assistant to the President on Media, said such inscriptions are not uncommon within presidential circles.
		The power play between pilots in the Presidential Air Fleet, PAF, consisting of pilots in the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, and those from Nigeria Airways Limited, NAL reportedly led to the technical faults the jet purportedly developed mid-air.
		Kike Oteri, an employee of one of the private airlines, told Newswatch that the NAF pilots' lack of familiarity with navigating the airplane led to the reported technical faults the presidential jet developed shortly after take-off when President Obasanjo attempted travelling to France in it last month.
