Yesterday I took a some photos of this CASA CN-235-220MPA at Dijon Bourgogne airport, ex-BA-102. It's a Senegalese air force aircraft , currently on a trip via Seville and Dijon and today Warsaw. It seems to have had problems (technical?) because on June 2, during its flight to Warsaw, it was diverted and returned to Dijon. It stayed there until the 6th and I photographed it at around 11am, just before it left for Warsaw.

It arrived safely, as a photo were taken of it on arrival.

It's strange, when I download an image on Mi.net, its quality goes down (a bit blurrier). (I'm not talking here about the 1000p. size adjustment)

No idea my friend, that is the name the Libyan government has given the brigade. It is obviously important in Libya

A Chengdu FT-7NI trainer jet (license-built version of the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21) belonging to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) crashed in Makurdi, Benue State while on a routine training exercise on Friday.

NAF spokesperson Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet confirmed the incident in a statement.

Gabkwet said no loss of lives or damage to any property around the area of impact.

He said two pilots onboard the aircraft survived and were being observed at NAF Base Hospital, Makurdi.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has constituted a Board of Inquiry to determine the immediate and remote cause of the crash.
